"Maxtor is a particularly well-known name in the hard drive sector. They have brought out a number of hard drives that have introduced new and unique technologies into their product lines. In the past, I have looked at Maxtor’s original Serial ATA offering, their DiamondMax 9 hard drive, and more recently, I took a look at their native Serial ATA enterprise drive, the MaXLine III. The MaXLine III brought forth the first 16MB cache buffer I have seen. Today, I will be taking a look at Maxtor’s DiamondMax 10 which sports a 16MB cache buffer, a 7200 RPM spindle, Native Command Queuing (NCQ) and capacities of up to 300GB."
