Maxtor DiamondMax 10 300GB SATA150

Sidney · 17th June 2005, 20:57

Overall, the Maxtor DiamondMax 10 300GB SATA II hard drive offers excellent performance and reliability. Although we did not have a pair of hard drives to test the RAID performance, I’m guessing that the 16MB buffer would boost the overall RAID performance. Given that you are planning to buy a newer motherboard with SATA II support, you should probably look out for DiamondMax 10. Although the price for a retail hard drive is about USD186 / RM700, you can always opt for OEM versions which come in a much cheaper price. Backed with a 3 years warranty and supporting various enhanced features such as the NCQ, you can never go wrong with Maxtor!
