Craig,

I would rather have the DiamondMax 17.2 gig.. for a 5400 RPM drive it's smoking hot for transfer rates and cool to the touch (the biggest problem with the 7200 rpm drives).. I would be willing to bet that it is close to the sustained transfer rate of the 7200 RPM IBM, because the areal density on the Maxtor is at least 25% higher..

Steve

Amazing how big these drives are getting. I still like the DiamondMaxes...best bang for the buck and fast.
Beleieve it or not I have files that can easily fill them...
Best for overclockers is the Quantum...don't ask me why.
Jim
