What is MaxBoost?

MaxBoost is performance-boosting driver software for Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP that 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, optimizing the effective storage speed of your system in a variety of applications.

What are the minimum system requirements to 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, MaxBoost will ask you 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.
