Three hundred gigabytes?!  That's it? Jeez man, I can get a 400GB easily from other vendors.  Or, I can RAID a couple 250's together for half a TB.  Sure, and risk losing your data.  Besides, I don't think you've seen this kind of performance from a non-SCSI drive since the Raptor 74GB.

Maxtor drives were always lurking in the middle of the pack.  They fell behind Western Digital and Hitachi/IBM in recent years.  Today, they have reinvented themselves with the first 3.5" non-SCSI HDDs with a 16MB buffer.  Their recent Atlas SCSI drives have snatched top dog honors from Seagate's Cheetah and Fujitsu's MAP/MAS series, and such exceedingly impressive DNA had finally been spliced into their sibling's 7200RPM HDD genes.

The following are the 6B300R0 specs and Warranty info as stated by Maxtor on their website:

  • Formatted capacity: 300GB
  • Average seek time: <9.0
  • Rotational speed: 7200 RPM
  • 16MB cache buffer
  • Parallel or Serial ATA interface:

    - SATA/150 Interface with Native Command Queuing
  • Fluid Dynamic Bearings
  • Maxtor Shock Protection System
  • Maxtor Data Protection System
