There's "specs" and then there's real life. I have never seen a hard drive
that could do this. I've got brand new IBM 7200rpm ATA66 drives and I can't
seem to get them to do much better than 6-7mb/sec with either Win98,
Win2000, or Linux. That's with Abit BH6, an Asus P3C2000, and Supermicro
PIIIDME boards. And yes, I'm using an 80 conductor cable. I'm using
Wintune on the windows platforms and bonnie on Linux to do benchmarks.
Cheers,
Chris
