  • 300GB Maxtor with CQ and 16MB

    I guess RAM is now cheap enough to just dump loads of it on drives. It won't do any good for STR, but it might help a bit over 8MB cache for 'more random' access.

    I hope the reliability of this drive is better than the previous 250GB one (as according to the storagereview reliability database figures for it).

            The Hitachis and WDs are only 350GB.

              I can't find a Maxtor drive over 300GB on the Maxtor site.

              unless of course you get drives that aren't officially in production

                Well, being a storage company, that happens.

                    I wonder whether we'll have an option to disable CQ...everyone rushing to provide a slower system for single users...

                      Nice. Now they just need more RPMs.
