MaxBoost™ Trialware!

The MaxBoost Trialware gives you the opportunity to try out the current pre-release version of Maxtor's new Maxboost software, a high-performance driver for Maxtor® ATA and SATA hard drives.

What is Maxtor's MaxBoost driver?

MaxBoost is performance-boosting driver software which operates under Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP and which is designed to complement your Maxtor ATA or SATA hard drive. The MaxBoost driver intelligently caches data in the host system RAM before it is written to and read from the Maxtor disk drive, enhancing the effective storage speed of your system under a variety of system conditions and applications.

What are the minimum system requirements to install and use MaxBoost?

Maxtor or Quantum ATA or SATA hard drive (RAID not supported)
Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP operating system
Intel or AMD processor, 700 MHz or higher (Dual processors not supported. Hyper-Threading must be disabled.)
256 MB RAM or higher
As part of the installation process, you will be asked to select one or more drives to "boost." The maximum number of drives that can be addressed with the MaxBoost software at one time varies with the available RAM installed on the host system. See chart below for details:

System RAM Max number of Drives Supported with MaxBoost
256MB 1 Drive
384MB 2 Drives
512MB 3 Drives
768MB 4 Drives



NOTE: The MaxBoost driver is not intended for use with non-Maxtor/Quantum drives or system configurations other than specified above. Attempting to run the MaxBoost driver on unsupported system configurations can lead to decreased system performance or inconsistent system or disk drive behavior. Also, in the event of a sudden system shutdown, data stored in your system cache and not on the drive may be lost and recovery of that data may not be possible.
