ATA question

Postby Mobius » Mon Apr 18, 2005 8:23 pm

I was looking into getting another Hard Drive and I was just wondering what the difference between ATA/100 and ATA/133 was.  I can't remember for the life of me. ::) :)

Thanks  :)

ATA 100 = 100MBps (relatively..)

ATA 133 = 133MBps.. ;-)

ATA 133 is much better! ;-)

Of course to benefit from ATA133 your motherboard must support it, otherwise the hd will behave like an ATA100 one.
