Both the BE6 and BP6 come with one standard IDE cable and one ATA 66 cable.
Most of the newer ATA66 drives (esp. Maxtor) also include a ATA 66 cable in
the box as well.
ATA66 drivers and controllers are of course brand new stuff so test heavily
before deployment. For fun, you can pick up a Promise 66 RAID controller
for around $130 and 3 good ATA66 7200 RPM drives (we like the Maxtor
because of the great warranty and huge buffer).. For around $600 you can
have a complete 30GB RAID with a hot swap spare ready for action if one of
the first two fail.
