what is the difference between the ibm 60gig 7200rpm 60gpx and the 120gpx?

Which on is better and faster?

Good question, I have wondered this myself... never thought of asking tho. hehe. Will someone share thier knowledge with us, perhaps?

I have no clue, but IMHO Id avoid IBM HDD's, just get Western Digital, Seagate, or Maxter (listed in my personal order of preference), because there have been issues with reliability and 24/7 operation, so I'd just stay on the safe side and ignore them

But you could just be a curious soul, so sorry if Im making assumptions

As far as speed goes, there are only minor differences in the internal transfer rates. They are both ATA-100 spec 7200rpm devices with 2MB buffers. Seek times are almost exactly the same, with the exception of the N07-0 suffix 120GXP lower end units(20 and 40GB, though there is a 40GB with a A07-0 suffix with the higher speed) which are slightly slower. The differences are in the internal geometry of the drives. The 120GXP is 40GB per platter and twice the track and areal density of the 60GXP's 20 GB per platter design. I haven't used them personally and have heard mixed reviews of their longevity.

Hi,

Summarizing, the main difference among GXP familys is the platter density. In general, the denser, the better....

So, which is best ? : The latest one (120GXP newest, 60GXP last year`s, 75GXP oldest)
