Negative Positive
Title: Usage Experience
Review: Very good disk at a very good price. I installed it as a single SATA drive (no RAID setup). Vista rated its performance 5.9 wich is the same as my other system (3 x Seagate BARRACUDA ES-7200.1 320GB Hard Drive, RAID 5 setup) which is strange. My RAID 5 setup theoritically should be faster and so this Maxtor (single disk) should be rated less than my RAID 5 setup. I don't why but I don't trust Vista hardware rating. For example a RADEON 2600XT 512MB in single card or Crossfire setup, Vista rated the gaming performance the same (5.4) for both setup.The maxtor HDD is a very good buy comparing to Barracuda however My Barracuda RAID 5 setup (3 disks)is more quiet than the maxtor (Single disk). With Maxtor I can hear the disk clicking.
Is the review positive or negative?
