Meh. I couldn't have seen that coming. Their results are useful in the sense that they confirm what I suspected - WD's generally fastest in single-user stuff, then Maxtor, then Seagate; Maxtor loudest/highest power draw, then Seagate, then WD. But if SR doesn't get a little more on top of their game (like, say, releasing reviews about products within a week or two of when they come out) I'm afraid they'll be fading to irrelevance.
