Windows NT (NTFS) Performance
Under Windows NT, the picture remains virtually unchanged. The Maxtor DiamondMax does take the narrow lead over the Western Digital in the Business Application performance, however it takes a close back seat to the Ultra ATA/66 (and also 7200 RPM) WD Expert drive in the High-End Application Performance.
The Experts 2MB cache and 7200 RPM spin rate give it the touch needed to take the narrow lead away from the extremely competitive Maxtor DiamondMax, a 5400 RPM drive.
