Thanks to shadow_warez for the heads up:

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.

After you install the MaxBoost software, it will be enabled for use under the MaxBoost Software License until June 30th 2004.
