The Market
Ever since its introduction, the award-
winning Quantum Fireball™disk drive
has defined performance in desktop
systems. Now, Quantum raises the bar
even higher with the Fireball Plus LM
drive that brings workstation-level
performance to the desktop. With
innovations in reliability and
performance, the Fireball Plus LM
drive is the optimum choice for the
most demanding applications,
including graphics-intensive desktop
publishing, complex CAD/CAM, MMX
multimedia, DVD, and sophisticated
financial modeling.
Two Innovative Reliability Features
The Quantum Fireball Plus LM
features the revolutionary Quantum
Data Protection System (DPS). In
less than 90 seconds, DPS lets a user
quickly and easily verify hard disk drive
functionality in the event of system
problems. The Fireball Plus LM drive
also has Quantum’s exclusive Shock
Protection System (SPS) that combats
one of the leading causes of hard disk
drive failures—mistreatment during
handling and integration. Combined,
these two systems help eliminate the
major causes of disk drive returns
—and give customers an
unprecedented level of
confidence that their data
will be preserved.
An Even Higher Level
of Performance
Along with a faster 7,200 RPM
rotational speed, the Fireball Plus LM
drive features an 8.5 millisecond (ms)
average seek time, and a 2 megabyte
(MB) buffer. To maximize I/O, the
Fireball Plus LM comes equipped with
the new Quantum-developed (patent
pending) Ultra ATA/66 interface.
Combined with available capacities,
the Fireball Plus LM offers customers
an unprecedented level of reliability,
performance, and capacity.
Quantum Quality and Reliability
With Quantum’s advanced DPS and
SPS systems and a full 3-year warranty,
the Fireball Plus LM drive achieves
a new level of dependability along with
proven performance. Good reasons
why when you build a system around
a Quantum drive you’re building
long-term trust with your customers.
