De Review Zone heeft een uitgebreide review geplaatst waarin 6 grote IDE hd's met elkaar worden vergeleken.
Now, take into consideration that higher RPM speeds do result in a slight increase in performance, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that 5400 RPM drives are slower. There are plenty of 5400 RPM drives outperforming the 7200 RPM breed. As for the 10,000 RPM drives, they’re all SCSI and most of them get so hot that you need to cool them with the aid of a drive cooler.
