Maxtor's 'Diamonds' Catch Google's Eye.Maxtor Corporation recently announced that its DiamondMax line of hard drives will "power the thousands of Internet servers for the Google website," said Urs Hoelzle Urs Hoelzle is vice president of operations and vice president of engineering at Google. He was the Associate Professor of Computer Science at UC Santa Barbara. He is credited for creating for April Fools day 2005 [1]. , vice president of engineering at Google. "Using Maxtor [Corporation's] drives is a way for Google to process computations that keep pace with Google's increases in visitor traffic." The need for accessibility to files is important for Google because the search engine receives queries at other portal sites Noun 1. portal site - a site that the owner positions as an entrance to other sites on the internet; "a portal typically has search engines and free email and chat rooms etc. . Containing AOL's Netscape Netcenter and WashingtonPost.com, it controls millions of search queries on its own website and the products arrange reliability packages. They are comprised of Maxtor ShockBlock. It enables the drives to oppose shock load levels without drive failure and they feature a sub-9.Oms average seek time. Merging a 100MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. memory for sustained transfer rate, it also offers a 2MB cache buffer, Maxtor's proprietary Dual Wave processor, and UltraDMA 66 for up to 66MB/sec transfer rates, adaptable to 100MB/sec rate with a utility installation. "Websites such as Google require products [that] the industry can deliver," said Mike Cordano, vice president of worldwide sales at Maxtor. "We take pride that Google has selected our DiamondMax Plus 40 line of hard drives to solve its need for storage." With 7200RPM spin speed and reliability features, Maxtor DiamondMax IDE (1) (Integrated Development Environment) A set of programs run from a single user interface. For example, programming languages often include a text editor, compiler and debugger, which are all activated and function from a common menu. drives give performance for a number of storage-hungry categories such as multimedia, Internet, video, and audio applications on desktop systems, as well as for SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. applications such as servers and RAID systems. |
