I think you will probably find newer UIDE disks quite acceptably fast for
personal usage, and their low price makes them a very attractive buy. I
don't believe their performance is in anything like the same league as the
10,000 rpm wide ultra-SCSI disks I use at work, but I doubt that my PC is
capable of fully utilising the performance available from these drives,
and I can't afford them anyway. I find that a linux kernel compile takes
about enough time to make and drink a mug of coffee with my 200 Mhz K6
Cpu, which is streets ahead of my older 486 machines and quite fast enough
to not encourage me to spend big bucks speeding it up.
