Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120 GB Hard Drive - 1 Pack

Weakness: Lifespan

While the drive worked, it performed just fine. But it did not last very long. The first died after about a month of use, the replacement died in about a week. Sending off for another warranty replacement now.

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120 GB Hard Drive - 1 Pack

Strengths: Fast access times; excellent storage space

Weakness: None that I've found so far.

So far this has been a wonderful hard drive. I have plenty of memory space for all of my applications and I've had no hang ups or bogging down of the drive when using several applications at once.

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120 GB Hard Drive - 1 Pack

Strengths: 8MB Cache, large capacity

Weakness: None

I used to use Windows 98SE, on a 16GB hard drive. When I upgraded to this 120GB hard drive, and 8MB of cache, i noticed that my system booted up about 3 times as fast. This drive also is very fast because of the 8MB cache, and 120GB is more than enough to hold your data. I strongly recommend this product from Maxtor.

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120 GB Hard Drive - 1 Pack

Strengths: Great access time espec. for large audio and video files.

Weakness: A little noisy

I use this drive to store multi-media files so fast access times was critical and so far I must say I have not been disappointed. Compared to my older Maxtor drive this one is 'zippy'! Good price and now that Maxtor is offering a 3 yr warranty, no need to look elsewhere.

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120 GB Hard Drive - 1 Pack

Strengths: Good transfer rate with 8MB cache.

Weakness: Installed MaxBlast from CD, but should have read the readme first for XP. Make the diskette and you'll be OK.

This is my third (still running) Maxtor drive. Much better than the other HD mfg I had. 20% increase in transfer rate (from 2MB to 8MB cache) helps with video aps.

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120 GB Hard Drive - 1 Pack

Strengths: It works ok, its pretty fast.

Weakness: None that I can see at this time.

This drive is good for the price, I don't have any problems with it at all. It is faster than most of the drive i have come across in the past.

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120 GB Hard Drive - 1 Pack

Strengths: Great price. In the past my Maxtor drives have been great.

Weakness: This one is toast. I've tried installing 3 different OSs and I keep getting bad blocks. Will have to return.

I think that in general Maxtor makes good drives. My past experience with them would suggest that. And maybe this model is in general good too, but the one I got seems to be a dud. I'll have to return it, and hope the next one is better. (I will update this then.) The current prices put it at less than a dollar per GB, so that is very nice.

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120 GB Hard Drive - 1 Pack

Strengths: Less expensive (with manufacture's rebate) than most others in the same class.

Weakness: none, yet.

Works well for my back -up machine. Cannot find anything wrong with it. Good deal. Good product. I would definitely buy again. Oh, and the manufacture's rebate came quickly with no hassles.

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120 GB Hard Drive - 1 Pack

Strengths: This hard drive is VERY QUIET compared to other 120 GB hard drives i have used. Very stable and reliable. Great price for so much space. The 8 mb cache gives it a great speed.

Weakness: none so far...

Its a very stable hard drive and is SOOOOOO quiet. Other hard drives i have had have been very noisy when they were accessed. The top quality in my mind would have to be how much bang you get for your buck.
