Hello!

   Has anyone benchmarked the IBM Ultrastar 2ES against the new Seagate
Hawk 4XL? I know statwise the IBM has faster seek times while the
Seagate has faster rotational speed. Arial density is about the same. What
kind of performance difference does that translate to in real life?
What about reliability and compatibility (ie flaky bios)?

				Thank you very much in advance,

				Y.
