Serial ATA Drives Mature and Get Faster

Posted by timothy on from the one-step-at-a-time dept.

MojoDog writes "Serial ATA drives are still as scarce as hen's teeth but what models are trickling out from Seagate and Maxtor, are beginning to look promising. This article and performance analysis shows the new DiamondMax Plus 9 SATA Hard Drive putting up some impressive figures in standard SATA 150 and SATA 150 RAID 0 configurations."

    Good. you can post the part of an article that refers to part of a previous article, completely irrelevant to the current one.

    For your next trick, try posting comments about Win3.11 when the review of the next Windows appears.

    Also, make sure when Mac OSX Panther comes out that you refer to disappointments with System 7.

    what models are trickling out from Seagate and Maxtor, are beginning to look promising.

    The sound you can hear is the echo of the breaking of the hearts of ten thousand grammar nazis.

    Yeah, I know how you feel. I purchased a Duron 1100 just last year, and now AMD have brought out the AthlonXP 2100+! They should provide a new motherboard and CPU cheap, as I recently purchased what is now obsolete technology. I mean, its only fair, isn't it?

    This may sound silly, but how cool would it be to have some kind of wireless cabling system for connection between all pc devices (like bluetooth) i know its totaly inpracticle, but u could have one of those cool induction charging matts with a motherboard, hard drive, cdrom, etc just sitting on it with no wires! very trippy 8-)

    Until your little sister walks in and picks up the hard drive for your web server to make a good doorstop. :)

    Freezer Gnomes. The same ones who make the ice disappear and food get freezer burn. The do wonders with gum in hair as well. Amazing little creatures if you ask me.

    ...industry visionaries who predict teraflops of holographic storage...

    Yes, I would have some doubt in visionaries who measure storage in floating point operations per second.

    > Get the Cheetah 15k.3 and you'll never look back!

    Warning: Never put Seagate Cheetah drives where there are people. They sound like a circular saw trying to cut though a piece of reinforced concrete. Really not a very nice sound. At all.
