Reviews of the Maxtor DiamondMax D540X (160GB, ATA-133)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Humongous, 160GB capacity; solid performance; runs cool; low vibration.
The Bad: Its 5,400rpm spin rate is on the slow side; no weekend support.
The Bottom Line: The D540X is the highest-capacity hard drive on the market today, but the 7,200rpm competition is faster.
Manufacturer: Seagate Technology
