ja ik heb er van de d740x ook 2 stuks in hangen. maar ik vraag me dus af hoe de dm plus 8 zich qua prestaties verhoudt tot de d740x.
de dm plus 8 is in principe een budget schijf, maar kan qua prestaties misschien weleens in de buurt komen van de d740x is. hij is nieuwer en heeft nagenoeg dezelfde specs. alleen hij is maar leverbaar tot 40 gig.
