Hello All, Question for the experts out there. Whats the difference between the UDMA 66 drives vs ATA 66? I picked up a UDMA 66 for $135(20GB, 2mb buffer, 7200rpm). Has anyone on this list using this type of udma drive. Is the ATA 66 better? Why or why not?
This 66 MB/sec transfer rate is similar with scsi. My purpose for this drive for webhosting small sites using the SuSe 6.3.
Any extra info will be greatly appreciated...
I use a WD 20 gig UDMA66 drive and it works fine. I can get nowhere near 66mb/sec transfers though. About 28 mb is the max. If you need the 66mb transfers without the processor overhead use scsi. Not being an expert I will let others answer the remainder of your questions ;-) -- Bob F EMail FBob@wt.net A Truly Wise Man Never Plays Leapfrog With A Unicorn... -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
