The first thing I noticed right off the bat, is just how much my 13.6GB drive (my personal test bed drive) failed to deliver. You often never notice how bad things are till you have it staring at you in black and white. The IBM Deskstar fares well, being the HDD that resides in my kids Celeron 550, Abit BH6 system normally. It’s um, definitely time to swap drives with the kids :D. The borrowed DiamondMax 40 series drive slightly edges the older smaller Deskstar, but not by any significant amount.
Sitting at the head of the table in this round, is the Quantum, turning in a very respectable 23014 in SandraDisk benchmark. As I alluded to earlier, paper specs aren’t everything. :)
