High-End, High-Capacity SATA-150 Roundup

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the do-they-still-make-that-awful-noise dept.

Maxtorn writes This review is published to cover a "300GB Maxtor drive, but provides a roundup covering a few high end, high capacity drives from Maxtor, Seagate, and Hitachi. Synthetic / real world performance, thermal results, and noise output are all covered on drives ranging from 200-500GB in capacity and with 8-16MB of cache memory. A solid reference for those shopping for a new drive."

  1. Buy Seagate! by wpmegee · · Score: 4, Informative

    I always try to buy seagate, ~$10 price difference, and the 5-year warranty is priceless. You only get a 3-year warranty on most other drives, or 1 year if you buy retail Western Digital.

    And if you see Maxtor, run like the wind!
