The Quantum Atlas V is an evolutionary improvement over the Atlas IV and othercomparable 7,200 RPM drives on the market.  It provides an exceptional amount of performance, even greater than some 10,000 RPM drives on the market, at a very competitive price.  If you're looking to setup a powerful workstation or server, take a serious look at this drive. For everyday PC users and gamers, the cost of a SCSI drive along with an Ultra 160/m SCSI adapter might run you a little high, so unless you are wealthy, we recommend sticking with a 7,200 RPM ATA-66 drive.

90-94 = Silver, 95-100 = Gold
