Hi,
I would expect the disk which acts slower(maxtor) to be atleast as fast
as the other one (ibm).
reasons:
1. Both are 7200RPM
2. The slower one(maxtor hdg) is one of the newer ata133 disks while
that faster one is ata100(ibm hde). I would expect atleast equal
performance from both.
Thanks,
-bharath
