The Quantum Bigfoot drives’ ultra  
slim-line design, which measures 8 by  
5.75 by 0.75 inches, fits into any avail-  
able 5.25-inch bay in most modular PCs  
without any customization to system  
enclosures. Since Quantum Bigfoot  
drives mount exactly like a CD-ROM  
unit, installation is actually easier than  
a traditional 3.5-inch drive, since no  
brackets or mounting rails are required.

Reliability and Versatility  
Quantum Bigfoot drives meet the highest  
standards for data integrity. Automatic,  
double-burst, on-the-fly error detection  
and correction are implemented using  
an advanced custom ASIC and firmware.

High-Performance Data Transfers  
Quantum Bigfoot drives provide high-  
speed data transfers through a well-  
designed, Fast ATA-2 interface. The

the increased track capacities available  
with 5.25-inch disks allow these drives  
to meet the performance requirements  
of the newest generation of consumer  
PC systems. These features also result in  
improved sequential performance at the  
application level because, for any single  
drive and eliminating the need for  
manual jumper settings. This feature is  
particularly beneficial for users who are  
upgrading their system through the  
addition of a second hard disk drive.
