Drop by www.storagereview.com for some good background on the bus
issue.  Just because the bus can handle 100 MB/sec, the hardware
can't necessarily produce that transfer rate.

However, the decrease is surprising.

Subject: [PLUG] ATA100 vs ATA66

I got an ATA100 card to replace the ATA66, hoping to get the added
advantage
of the 30G ATA100 drive (2 drives, one is ATA100, the other ATA66).
However,
the hdparm readings indicate that the  buffered-cache reads decreased
in
efficiency and the buffered disk reads pretty much stayed the same.

All I did was switch the cards. Should I have to reconfigure the
kernel to
load a different module? Does anyone have any experience doing this
type of
thing?

thanks

Chris
