Real Gentlemen: Performance IDE Hard Drives
Western Digital 600BB
The WD600BB
Western Digital has five models in the BB series: 20, 30, 40, 60 and 80 GB (incidentally, WD recently announced a 100 GB drive on their website, but so far there's been no information as to its availability - stay tuned!). All of them have quick access times, decent data transfer performance, and above-average HighEnd Disk WinMark scores. Here we look more closely at the WD 600BB (60 GB).
