In WinBench 99's Business Disk WinMark, the DiamondMax Plus D740X's 9.1 MB/sec is an 11% improvement over its predecessor. This catapults the Maxtor in front of all the competition, save only the WD1000BB Special Edition.

The D740X's 21.7 MB/sec in the High-End WinMark is also quite respectable, though it trails the WD1000BB by a small 3% margin.
