The error they made in the test they ran is a commonly made one. Main problem is they compared drives of different capacities. This almost always leads to the conclusion that the bigger drives are faster, since when data density is increased, some of that increase is often more data on a track, and thus faster data transfer. Also, while I am not going back now to reread the article, I am almost positive they used the NON-UDMA drive from JTS (I think they just called it EIDE). So if you want a fair comparison, compare the EIDE JTS drive to other EIDE drives of the same capacity and then compare UDMA JTS drives to other UDMA drives of the same capacity. Remember my Bigfoot 4.3G blows away the performance of my old Maxtor 1.2, even though the maxtor has faster spin and faster seek. Of course JTS' goal is to make cheap drives not blazingly fast ones, but if the drive really has the specs it claims to have, it should be in the ballpark of other drives barring major engineering blunders. --Scott
