The company was founded by James McCoy, Jack Swartz, and Raymond Niedzwiecki in 1982. Maxtor targeted both the server and desktop market, concentrating on disk capacity more than disk speed for desktops. The company now operates as a subsidiary of Seagate, a leading provider of hard drives and storage solutions.
