Performance: 9/10
The D740X easily outperforms Maxtor's previous flagship drive, and is most probably among the best performing IDE drives on the market today.
Quality: 8/10
Maxtor's drives, in the past, have often times not proved as rugged as their Quantum, IBM (75GXP excluded), or Western Digital counterparts. We're hoping Maxtor's acquisition of Quantum will bring about a new tradition of highly reliable drives.
Features: 10/10
With available fluid bearings, and noise-reducing technologies like Acoustic Management, the D740X is about as feature rich as hard drives come.
Price: 6/10
The D740X is priced competitively, but not noticeably better than other drives on the market.
