LITTLEWHITEDOG has posted a review on Promise's Ultra133 TX2 controller and Maxtor's D740X-6L hard drive.
In the speed arena, the added bandwidth an ATA133 compatible controller can give you is unfortunately not a selling point at this time. This is not the fault of the controller though, even the ATA133 compatible Maxtor D740X (with it's 2MB cache and 7200 RPM platters) cannot push the data fast enough to take full advantage of the large pipe it has at it's disposal. If a RAID version of this card is ever released (very likely), a pair of Maxtor D740X's would probably give the ATA133's pipeline a run for its money - or at least have it walking a little funny the following day.Read more
