what Hard drive is faster

[parsons]

I just bought a new hard drive http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pr...665000FS10036132&catid=10484&logon=&langid=EN

and i curently have a Seagate Barracuda 7200 Rpm as my os hard drive and i was wondering if the maxtor is a better one to have my os and games running off of......i noticed that the seagate is a Ultra-ATA/100 and the maxtor is a Ultra-ATA/133


Which one is better :S

The Maxtor

the maxtor, definitely. 10,000 rates per minute is definitely faster than 7200, and it does make a big difference

ATA/133 is faster than ATA/100 so yeah, the Maxtor is faster.

Um, they're both 7200 RPM. The Maxtor is faster, though.

ok.....thanks. now will this be a noticeable difference in games and other stuff

Well, probably not that much, but there is obviously going to be one. It may not be too noticeable.

It is revolutions per minute.

True dat. Or revs per minute, if you're talking about engines or motors (and, yes, they're different).
