the top speed

[wudun1000]

could somebody tell me whether the fastest IDE harddisk'speed has arrived 70MB/S?If there are ,which one s?thank you.

No. The fastest is around 45-50 MB/s

Not likely.
The best ive seen is outer zone read speeds of around 55Mb/sec, down to 30-35Mb/sec for inner zones. Thats for read speeds of course. Write speeds are slower.

The only drive i know of that are capable of anything approaching 70Mb/sec are RAID0 arrays or 15k rpm SCSI drives

At the moment, the fastest ATA Hard disk is the IBM 180GXP with 56 MB/s.
The 180GXP with 8 MB buffer (180 MB and 120 MB model) have also the highest score in benchmark like Sandra or ZD WinBench99).
Remaining in the IDE ATA market, only combining two drives in RAID 0, you can reach a transfer rate of 95/100 MB/s in the outer areas of the disks.
SCSI drives running at 15k rpm has a transfer rate of about 60 MB/s of sustained data rate.
