I use XP on my home system. I use only parallel IDE. For hard
drives I tend to use Samsungs and Barracudas because I don't want a
lot of heat or noise.
I'm tempted to try a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160GB (8MB and fluid
bearings) model 6Y160P0. http://snipurl.com/9dxv
From what I have read this Maxtor sounds like a nice hard drive with
good enough performance to perhaps replace my Barracuda IV system
drive.
Is this model of Maxtor reasonably quiet and reasonably cool?
Models seem to change so much that if I don't read the reviews for a
specific model then I find I can not always infer what it will be
like from reviews of other models in the manufacturer's range.
I think the Maxtor and is supposed to be commendably quiet. Can
anyone confirm this.
I've also heard that this Maxtor came with either three 60GB
platters, three 68GB platters or two 80GB platters. How can I tell
which is which from looking at the case?
