Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 200GB SATA Review

[Ian]

PCHardware.co.uk have a review of the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 200GB SATA - quite a mouthful for a product name! This is one of the leading SATA drives at the moment, and well worth a read. We will have our own review here at PCReview in a couple of weeks.

This drive is fast and provides plenty of space for your system to grow into. Price wise at the time of writing this series of Maxtor drives were several £ cheaper than their rivals on like for like models.

I would like to re-run and update the review using the drive connected directly to a SATA connector on a motherboard to see if it improves. As I feel the drive has more to give and could be hindered by the use of the add-on card.

Bit dumb using a SATA drive and NOT testing it in a SATA system.

The SATA PCI card should give the same throughput as the onboard ones available?
