Have a look amongst Maxtors own utilities. They should have one for that. It's the seek performane that is lowered by accoustics management, but usually not by much.

I think that the Hitachi Feature Tool is able to enable/disable AAM on Maxtor drives too.

AAM performance mode (which I believe is the default for these) shows very little difference from AAM off.
SANDRA likes to find something to bitch about, like your BIOS being old.
