I think the 'plus' drives spin faster - 7200 RPM vs. 5400 RPM. Not exactly sure. Check http://www.maxtor.com - they post all their specs in pdf format.

DiamondMax is Maxtor's mainstream hard drive line, it runs 5400rpm, ususally comes in larger size and a reasonable price, good performance/price ratio.

DiamondMax Plus is their performance hard drive line, it's 7200rpm. So it's a lot faster than DiamondMax, but ususally they max out at a smaller capacity. The performance is very good, so expect it to be more expensive as well.
