LITTLEWHITEDOG has just completed a very comprehensive review of Promise's Ultra133 TX2 controller and Maxtor's D740X-6L hard drive. While these components may bring the ATA133 drive standard to your system, are they really needed?
They ran a series of four different benchmarks on the Maxtor D740X (along with two other drives) using the Promise Ultra133 TX2 controller, and then ran them all again on a Promise ATA100 controller to see if there are any benefits to using this new standard.
