Maxtor Slim HardDrive???

[Doom3]

Whats the difference between a Maxtor 40GB hard Drive and a Maxtor 40GB slim Hard Drive?

 

[David Lindon]

It is thiner and slower I think. That is it.

 

[Lord Kalthorn]

Yeah - if it was thinner is would have to have less heads; and so with less heads reading would be cut down and indeed writing. I'd imagine the thinner one would be more expensive too - so I would get the normal one unless you specifically need the thin one for some reason.

 

[David Lindon]

I meant the case is just thinner. Why would it have less heads?

If the case is thinner; then either they jack up the price or take out heads because it costs too much to put in more? Sounds right doesn't it?

 

[GeforcebOY1]

I don't no what heads are . But i would have throught it would just be slimmer and more expensive.

 

[Lord Kalthorn]

Head are the things which stick out and read the data on the disks.

Yeah - that would be the biggest thing about having a smaller one; it would get steaply more expensive.
