- I've had one in my Quadra for about 6 months and I LIKE it. It is the
- quietest drive I've ever encountered. Not only is it virtually silent
- while running, it barely makes any noise while accessing. When I replace
- another external I have, I plan on getting another Maxtor like it.
-
- From a speed standpoint, I think it's a bit slower than a Quantum. I think
- that, at least in my Quadra, other drives might be faster. I'm not sure
- the difference would be noticeable, however.
