Re: ATA-3 drives
I am looking at buying another system myself. I have never heard of ATA though. Is it something I should want, or just more hype? Is it likely to be supported under Linux 2.2?

Re: ATA-3 drives
For ATA drives, you need a special ISA card. My HD (Maxtor 3.5) supports it, but I haven't bought the add-on card yet. It supposed to be superFAST (I think almost as fast as SCSI). I think the card is around $70 from CompUSA. Britton wrote: I am looking at buying another system myself. I have never heard of ATA though. Is it something I should want, or just more hype?

Re: ATA-3 drives
As it says on my HD box: Buffer Size: 256KB Average Seek time: 10MS Data Transfer Rate: 33.0 MB/Sec (Ultra DMA-Mode 2) Ultra DMA is also known as Ultra ATA. It has twice the speed of IDE drives.
