Our take
For those needing to upgrade or replace a drive in an older system, this Maxtor MaxLine Plus II offers a solid 250GB of storage. The 7200 RPM speed is a good performer for an IDE drive, ensuring relatively quick access to data. The 8 MB cache is a definite improvement over smaller caches found in some drives of its generation, which should help with frequently accessed files. While the ATA/133 IDE interface limits its use to older motherboards, its compatibility with both Mac and PC provides some flexibility for vintage builds.
