I'm still looking for a 'quiet' bigger drive (I still have the std 600M (was it?) in there). I did swap a 6G 9mm drive for a 2G 8.4mm but it is too noisy (for me) so I didn't use it. (I sometimes take the Libby camping .. well I take the family as well but the Libby is part of the family .. and the big drive could be hard halfway down the campsite, whereas the std one was pretty silent?) The new Toshiba serie is great. Quite hot drives, but silent. I bought this one on eBay one month ago : 40GB 2.5" Super Slimline (9.5mm) HDD - MK4018GAS (HDD2170) Here are more details : * 40GB capacity * Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motor drive * 9.5mm High * 12ms Average Seek Time * ATA-5 Interface * 100MB/sec Transfer Rate * 2,048KB Buffer * 300,000 MTTF Hours I eventually payed it £79.00.

Re: [LIB] USB Card

Only a little better than L50/70's regular ATA. However, L100/100's CardBus slots is connected to its internal PCI bus which is capable of 132 MBytes/sec. But, the Toshiba PCMCIA/CardBus controller used in L100/110 does not support DMA. Hence the limiting factor on how fast a USB 2.0 card can move is the processor speed. - Original Message - From: "Matthew Hanson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Libretto" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, February 22, 2003 1:32 AM Subject: Re: [LIB] USB Card Date: Sat, 22 Feb 2003 06:28:27 + From: "Matthew Hanson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [LIB] USB Card >From: Paul Bristow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >I have a USB2 card working on my L100 under Linux.

A while back I did a bit of research on various kinds of transfer rates, and came up with this list of theoretical rates depending on a systems components: * Ultra DMA ATA/33 hard disk drive 264Mbps (33MB/s) * Ultra DMA ATA/66 hard disk drive 528Mbps (66MB/s) * Ultra DMA ATA/100 hard disk drive 800Mbps (100MB/s) * USB 1.1, supporting 127 devices up to 12 Mbps (1.5MB/s) * USB 2.0, supporting 127 devices up to 480Mbps (60MB/s) * Firewire IEEE-1394, supporting 63 devices up to 400Mbps (50MB/s) So if anyone knows the limitations of bus speeds for the different Libs, maybe we can determine if, say a Lib o/c to 266MHz would be able to perform transfers faster with a USB 2.0 interface over USB 1.1. I would guess the Libs use ATA/33 HDDs, but Ultra DMA? I don't know enough about HDD specs.
