Fastest IDE Hard Drive Ever: IBM Deskstar 75GXP

Disk WinBench 99

Both the Business and the Highend Disk WinBench show better results for the DTLA. All models except the Seagate ST320430A come with 2 MByte cache. Still, the IBM drive seems to be technically more advanced than the competitors, as it is clearly faster once more.

Content Creation Winstone 2000

ZD's Content Creation Winstone does not reveal more performance advantages for the IBM drive. However, this benchmark is not particularly made for hard drive benchmarking. The Deskstar 75GXP still scoring better than the others underlines its excellent performance, as the hard drive has only little influence on the result.
