>From what I understand, there in not enough difference between ATA100 and ATA133, although you might see quite an increase over the native transfer rates you get directly from the motherboard against an ATA card. Still its hard to beat SCSI on transfer rates. You have to balance speed vs storage space. I prefer SCSI's transfer rates and use ATA drives as storage. All depends on what you need them for. -- John -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
