In addition to increasing throughput, Ultra DMA/33 improves data integrity by using a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) to flag any data transfer errors that may be made over the ATA bus.
In this application, CRC is only used to improve data integrity for ATA bus transfers, it is not used to improve the data integrity of either disk drives or host systems. All Maxtor hard drives include a powerful proprietary ECC (Error Correction Code) to insure data integrity when writing to or reading from the drive.
