It was awhile ago I took a look at a harddrive and I was in need for one for my HTPC so I decided to order a Maxtor Diamondmax 10 200GB with a 16mb buffer, as it seemed to be perfect for my HTPC. I am curious though how the buffer works' and how the drive will perform vs a normal 8mb buffer drive and vs SATA so that's the main thing we will be looking at tonight in the review. I have heard good things about these drives and this is supposed to be fairly quiet so that is something we will check out also.
