Maxtor's New Speedy 300-GB Drives
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "NEWS" @ 05:00 AM
"Maxtor Corp. announced a pair of Serial ATA hard drives on Monday, increasing capacities to 300 Mbytes while offering native command queuing and a significantly larger 16-Mbyte buffer. The new 7,200-RPM drives point to a new axis for improvement in hard drives: throughput. Both the additional buffer size and the NCQ technologies are designed to move data efficiently through the hard drive, from the disk platter to the host PC."
I don't think we have posted on this yet. The 16MB buffer sounds awesome, but it is disappointing that they haven't come out with a 10K RPM SATA drive yet in that kind of capacity. In any case, I would love to put together a video editing station, gaming machine and/or a DVR with a couple of these drives. :)
