Maxtor Corp., the world's No. 3 disk-drive maker, sees a promising new market selling hard disks that act as home-entertainment hubs whether or not they are connected to a personal computer. The new system, which Maxtor is set to unveil on Wednesday, makes the company the first hard-disk supplier to begin marketing its product as a home-entertainment center that can bypass PCs and allow consumers to watch movies or play music or video games.

"It is truly an entertainment device without a PC in the equation," said Paul Streit, director of product management at Maxtor's branded products group. Maxtor, based in Milpitas, California, is best known for making the 3.5-inch disk drives that store data on desktop computers. With the launch of its Shared Storage Plus storage hardware, the company is bypassing the personal computer, traditionally the heart of home computing.
