The Tech Zone heeft een korte review van de 18,2Gb dikke Quantum Fireball KA ATA66 schijf neer gelegd. Het ding draait op 7200 toeren, heeft een toegangstijd van 8,5ms en gaat vergezeld van een 512Kb kleine cache:
Under real world gaming situations, the drive performs great. I was always among the first to get onto each Quake 3 level. I also notice a nice speed increase from Unreal Tournament. With my old drive, which only spun at 4,500 RPM, Unreal Tournament was very choppy. The choppiness disappeared with the Quantum drive.Great performance, great price, good warranty and lots of storage space. There's isn't much missing from drive. The icing on the cake is the Quantum KA is very quiet for a 7,200 RPM hard drive. With a street price of about $180, I can't see how you can lose going with the Quantum 18 Gig KA.
