UDMA100 vs. ATA 133

[Day4Hell]

What's the differance? (actually is there any?) <<rookie here, just asking questions :)

[Jon]

33MBps more burst throughput.

Your Disk benchmarks will be a little higher, but you will not notice any improvement.

what they said, and it's ATA 100 and ATA 133....UDMA isn't out for 133 or 100 I don't believe.

I always thought UDMA 5 = ATA 100.

ATA 133 is kindof intriguing but I doubt one will notice any performance increase. Serial ATA is upcoming and may be worth waiting for.

Whats serial ATA?:confused:

Whats serial ATA?

See http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1174&p=1

It's going to be the new hard drive attachment standard. Will allow for much higher throughput.

A little information on it is here (http://www.serialata.com).
