Note also that if one of these drives does not work well with a 4070 (or any
other RLL controller), that you will have a hard time convincing the
manufacturer to do anything about it under warranty (unless the XT-1085 is
recognized by Maxtor as RLL capable).

As with other things of this nature, it will probably work, but you are on your
own for supprt.
