A mirage and an irrelevancy. That's the theoretical maximum transfer
rate of the bus, which can never be approached even in ideal cases,
because data flow is limited to the physical read speed of hard drives,
and ATA cannot draw data from more than one drive at a time on an ATA
channel. I hear of some contrived test situations where it's starting
to be possible to saturate ATA/66, but just barely.
