Maxtor's 300 GB Monster Reviewed

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the never-enough-space dept.

bustersnyvel writes "Tom's Hardware Guide has a nice article about Maxtor's new 300 GB DiamondMax harddisk. " The question is - will the drive perform despite having only 2mb of cache, and running at 5400 rpm?

  2. What is the point of the poster? by t0ny · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    I dont get it. They say "will it perform?" but if you just go read the article you will see the answer.

    So why even put this on Slashdot? Slow day? No more stupid "I switched to Windows XP for fifteen minutes" articles to be found?

    Anyway, this is the heading of the last page on the article- Conclusion: Large, fast, quiet-if only the guarantee were longer, in case the suspense was killing anybody (or they just dont really care enough to RTFA. Not that I blame them, honestly).
