ATA 100 and ATA 66

[Guest]

hi!
i would like to know if i will gain any performance from ata 100 if i have 5400rpm drive

You'd most likely gain more from going from 5400rpm to 7200rpm than going from ATA66 to ATA100.

I agree that we all agree and I also agree on that point.

YOU'RE ALL WRONG!

LoL

Actually I'm quite agreeable today.

I've NEVER seen this many people agree on one thing on these boards...

i sortof agree.
with the drive alone no difference will be seen, but if you have two drives on the same cable, and transfer data between them, the 66mb/sec barrier may be reached (ie 33mb/sec for each drive). unlikely, but still possible.


Excuse me for a moment. I need to drive my ergonomic wheely chair over a sheet of bubble wrap!

 

[camieabz]

I too, must apologise for upping my post count in such a terrible manner.

[must make it two next time.]

You'd most likely gain more from going from 5400rpm to 7200rpm than going from ATA66 to ATA100.

I disagree. There shouldn't be a "most likely" in that statement. You WILL gain more going from 5400 to 7200 than from ATA66 to ATA100.

Unless, you only work with a lot of small files under 2MB (the size of the cache) in size.

Or the same 1.99MB file.
