The DiamondMax Plus 9 is Maxtor's highest-performance desktop PC drive to date. The drive pairs storage capacities of 60GB, 80GB, 120GB and 160GB with a rotation speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute. (The rotation speed refers to the spinning of the hard-drive platters, which hold the data and function like a record on a record player.)
Drive makers have combined the 7,200rpm speed, up from 5,400rpm, with higher areal densities (or the amount of data that a drive maker can fit onto a single platter) and a new, higher-bandwidth ATA133 interface in a quest to outdo one another and offer PC makers and consumers faster, higher-capacity disks. Faster drives with higher-bandwidth interfaces can read and write data more quickly, which can help boost PC performance
