x-bit labs has reviewed IBM's Deskstar 180GXP. The new drive has 3 60GB platters. Some other changes:
There are two features in the new HDD specs that need commenting on. Firstly, as the capacity of the high-end drive in the 180GXP line stepped over 137GB, IBM had to re-design the electronics of the new drive to add ATA/ATAPI-6 support. This in not UDMA133, although some tricky firms started touting "IBM 180GXP U133".
Secondly, IBM 180GXP features hydro-bearings and thus low-end models are claimed to produce really little noise.
The results tend to be somewhat disappointing. Read on here.
