Storage Review heeft een ATA harddisk roundup in elkaar gedraaid. Handige info als je op dit moment op zoek bent naar een 5400 of 7200rpm harddisk. Hier heb je de conclusie van Storage Review wat betreft de 7200rpm categorie:
1999 is the year that 7200rpm ATA drives went mainstream. Though virtually all current 7200rpm drives deliver previously unheard of performance, the Western Digital Expert AC418000 is a standout. In the Expert, Western Digital combines great all-around performance with excellent acoustics, low heat levels, and competitive pricing. WD's strong retail presence also makes finding a unit to buy a snap. IBM, in its Deskstar 22GXP, provides similar performance and the largest size around, albeit at a higher price. Units from Maxtor and Quantum stand out when it comes to NT performance. The DiamondMax Plus 5120 is a value with the lowest price when it comes to $/GB while the Fireball Plus KA boasts the lowest access time around, competitive with many SCSI drives. Finally, the Fujitsu Desktop 18, while not competitive performance wise, delivers whisper-quiet operation.
