To be specific a SATA drive is 3000 MegaBits/second. This boils down to
about 375 MB.

    The old standard IDE parallel 40 pin plug is rated for a rate of 112
MB at the fastest to 78 GB at the slowest part of the platter. So in my
case I will not see a huge change moving to my SATA hard drive. I will
stay here on the new IDE much longer.

I'd be very interested in seeing the command and output for that drive using hdparm -iItT

Karl,

I use a Seagate 320 gig ES SATA drive. This is a 3 Gb/sec drive BUT - it was
I have read man hdparm and want nothing else to do with it. It is VERY DANGEROUS!
