Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 40 Ultra ATA 66 HDD

Windows 2000 (NTFS) Benchmark Results

Under Windows 2000 NTFS, the test results fall into the same general pattern as the FAT 32 scores, with the Maxtor unit either coming in on top, or tying for first place in most of the tests. The tested scores are slightly lower in some cases, this being due to NTFS’s slightly higher overhead than with the FAT 32 file system. Since the results are basically a repeat of the results from the FAT32 tests, we will omit them from this review. They will be present in any future roundups involving this drive.
