Hmm,
In the IDE setting wouldn't the "secondary" IDE drive be slower if the "primary" IDE drive is transmitting/receiving data. As far as I can find/remember that would be the foremost issue.
HTH, Harry
Harry - on paper they're actually two discreet channels, so one shouldn't affect the other.
But in reality - you're absolutely right. I don't think it's an architectural limit, I just think the way data is retrieved causes a slow-down when grabbing two sets of data out of two hard drives.
If it wasn't a problem, then striping RAID should double throughput, but in reality we don't see a 100% increase in speed.
