TweakMax maakt ons blij met een roundup van vier 7200rpm harde schijven, namelijk de Western Digital Expert 18GB, Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 40, de IBM 75GXP 15GB en 2x Western Digital Expert 18GB in een Raid setup. De nieuwe 75GXP drive van IBM blijkt het snelste uit de test:
So what's the conclusion of these tests? Well, first of all we can see that the IBM is, hands down, the fastest drive we have tested. So if you want the fastest of the fastest, you know what to get. However, the Raid doesn't fall far behind and when we take price/performance into consideration the Raid setup seems like a more valuable solution. In my case I had one drive in my computer and the other in my girlfriends. What I did was that I bought a new DiamondMax Plus 40 for my girlfriend and put her Western digital (which was identical to mine) together with mine in a Raid. This way I got a lot of bang for the buck. Of course it all depends on what situation you are in, but the IBM is pretty expensive per MB. The Maxtor however is performing nice, especially in business mark, and is pretty cheap as well. What would be interesting to see now is what happens if we take two IBM 75GXP and put them in a Raid? Well, unfortunately you won't get the answer to that question in this review...
