Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 80 GB Internal Hard Drive -...

Strengths: Maxtor brand name, drive is practically silent, 8 MG cache

Weakness: only 1 year warranty

I like and trust Maxtor drives. Good website with tech info on their older drives as well (like the one this one is replacing). I bought mine OEM and a little documentation sure helps sometimes. No noise issues are apparent, and I had no problems with installation or formatting.

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 80 GB Internal Hard Drive -...

Strengths: This drive is very fast and silent. Inexpensive. The SATA interface is a pleasure. Maxtor website has downloadable drivers, utilities and docs, which is nice if you buy OEM.

Weakness: None. Best drive I've ever owned.

Used this drive two months ago when building my new system based on an Intel P875PBZ motherboard and Pentium IV 3.E GHz Prescott chip. Some people have mentioned that it was difficult to install WinXP on a SATA drive, but everything worked out flawlessly for me. I suppose it may depend on the particular motherboard and it’s BIOS. Installation procedure for me was no different that a regular ATA...

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 80 GB Internal Hard Drive -...

Strengths: Reliable

Weakness: None

Have used drives from many different manufactures and this is the only one that has never given me a problem. Setup 2 of these drives in a Raid 0 config on SATA interface. Very quick.

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 80 GB Internal Hard Drive -...

Strengths: Fast data transfer rates, SATA interface

Weakness: ???

This drive works as advertized. It installed without any hitches, and the data rates seem to be faster than ide. You have to install the accompanying raid driver prior to running setup for an OS if you are using this to install you OS onto, but that was a snap. Good, solid drive

Dead after 14 months

Strengths: It use to work

Weakness: Drive is dead after 14 months

Drive came in a Dell 4700. Machine was a server that had very little use. Machine was even turned off for a while. Drive died after 14 months, 1 year warrantee means out of luck. Wouldn't recommend this product.

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 80 GB Internal Hard Drive -...

Strengths: Easy Install, Very Quiet, Fast and reliable

Weakness: None thus yet

I bought the drive and installed it in a snap. The SATA interface makes installation a dream without worry of jumpers, etc. The drive runs very well, currently with Windows and Linux. Great purchase and name brand.

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 80 GB Internal Hard Drive -...

Strengths: Fast, quiet, no problems

Weakness: Not cheap

Not the cheapest drive out there, but definitely scores on performance side. For people who are trying to jump on the SATA bandwagon, this is a great drive to consider (no more flumsy fat wires cloging up space, beat that)

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 80 GB Internal Hard Drive -...

Strengths: Good quality brand and drive, SATA, 8 MB buffer, fast, quiet

Weakness: None so far

Awesome drive that I installed in my brand new Athlon 64 computer. No problems at all so far with it. It does what it is supposed to do, and it sure is fast. Highly recommended.

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 SATA

After using several large capacity hard drives over the past few months, this is one of our picks of the lot. The price is a good deal for the capacity of the drive - irrespective of the speed.

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 SATA

After using several large capacity hard drives over the past few months, this is one of our picks of the lot. With a price of between £100-£150 at the time of writing, this seems like a good deal for the capacity of the drive - irrespective of the speed.
