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.
