Maxtor's ATA-133 Does 160GB

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the 160-scoops-of-yum dept.

B. Galliart writes "ExtremeTech has an article about Maxtor's two new bleeding edge ATA-133 drive models coming out later this month. The most interesting of these is the 160 Gigabyte DiamondMax Plus D540X (priced around $400) which uses Maxtor's purposed "BigDrive" 48-bit address space instead of the common E/IDE 28-bit address space thus getting pass the 137GB barrier. The drive should be useable on existing computers due to a bundled Promise Technologies ATA-133 PCI card."

      On it, yes.

      In it, no.

      My comment violated the postercomment compression filter. Comment aborted, until I added this blurb.

    Did you know that a couple of children dies every second from starvation? Or that 22 million people are currently fugitives of totalitarian regimes? Or that thousands people somewhere in the world are being tortured for their political views on a daily basis? What's more, this has been so, more or less, for every second of your life.

    Dude, I don't know how you missed this, but these were Americans!! You know, real authentic humans, not some smelly foreigners in a dirty country across the ocean.
