Hard drives: Maxtor 7V300F0 vs 7V320F0 AMUG review

2006-11-03 • SEND FEEDBACK |

Related: hard drive

Concerned that if you get a new Mac Pro that it won’t run fast enough as compared with a PowerMac G5 Quad? Take a look at barefeats.com for some tests, which suggest that the Mac Pro might be quite a good choice, at least for some users:

Shootout: Aperture 1.5 on Three Macs
Special Report: Photoshop CS2 Runs Faster With Latest OS X Build (10.4.8)

Looking for fast hard drives, either singly or for RAID? Look no further for the outstanding Maxtor Maxline III 7V300F0 [buy] @AMAZON . AMUG has a very helpful comparison of the newer 7V320F0, which is slightly cheaper, but consumes more power and is a bit slower. I’d recommend sticking with the tried and true 7V300F0, an “oldy but goody”.

The Maxtor 7V300F0 is the drive I use in my PowerMac Quad (see PowerMac G5 Internal Drive Kits) and external enclosures; I have about 10 of them. More information may also be found in this blog (Jan/Feb and later months). It is my #1 pick for a hard drive when constructing a RAID system.
