5.0 out of 5 stars Maxtor's ata133 drives rock, June 4, 2004
By 
Mark Guzowski (Idaho Falls, Idaho USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MAXTOR DiamondMax Plus 9 - 250GB U133 Internal IDE Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
I installed a maxtor ata133 (7200rpm, 8mb cache) on the 133 interface of a new asus mbd (the p4r800-v), and got transfer rates, in real apps, that blew away my previous speed demon (which cost more btw, was no slug, and was ata100 with 7200rpm 8mb disks). ata133, with a real 133 controller, is indeed a real improvement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice drives - I bought 2 of them, December 3, 2005
This review is from: MAXTOR DiamondMax Plus 9 - 250GB U133 Internal IDE Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
I have TWO of these babies in my computer (cost about $125 each), and they run like a charm. What I really love with Maxtor has nothing to do with the drives themselves. I love the software Maxtor gives free of charge that will make a carbon copy of an entire drive. Backing your system up, or upgrading from an old drive, is EZ as 1, 2, 3! No complaints. Money well-spent. Whether it's reliable or not, is too early to tell, and on that issue I must defer to more experienced consumers... and for the record? The number of other manufacturers besides Maxtor putting a 16 mb cache on their 250 gb drives is : ZERO. The standard at this time is 8 mb. Whether it really and truly makes a diff, I can't say, but at least Maxtor has a better spec.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am loving it..., July 9, 2004
By 
James Travis (Charlotte, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MAXTOR DiamondMax Plus 9 - 250GB U133 Internal IDE Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
Personally I own 3 Maxtor Drives. 1 is not 8 years old and hasn''t failed me yet, however it did replace a previous that went bad sector nuts in less than a month so there is always the chance.

I recently got this drive and bought an external drive kit for it (USB 2.0) and the drive outperforms my internal drive considerably. Tryin to decide now if I want to pick up another as I do a lot of video to DV transfers and this makes for great storage.

With all that said thou. Make sure you have a backup of all important data as you can potentially run into issues as with any PC part.
