I originally bought the drive 2 years ago and i thought it was weird then, but now i'm really questioning. I bought a 5.1GB maxtor hard drive (IDE, i dunno RPMs)...or so i thought. This thing is the fastest thing i've ever seen and it is 6.0 GB, not 5.1. So i didn't realize the speed until i benchmarked. Well...using a few benchmark utilities, my drive on average (b/w utilities) transfers at speeds about double any SCSI benchmark that i've found. What the heck is up? My 1 year old 40 GB drive runs at about 1/6th the speed of my 6 Maxtor. I decided to install Win2k on it recently. Where my Win98 takes fooooorever to boot, going from the black screen to desktop, ready to use mode on win 2k takes all of 10 seconds (including logon, and i've only got an 866).
So i'm not complaining...i'm just curious. What do i have?
Althons and Pentiums are just melted rock. Who’s rock is better? Who cares, let’s play some games
