UATA 100 vs 133
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: uh...ok
I've read mixed comments about UATA 100 and 133.
Here are some quotes off newegg customers (who may or may not know what they are talking about):
"I recomend you to run HD in ATA U100 mode (3.5%) since ATA133 uses 53% of CPU. The drive is fast. I tested with Sandra2002 and this drive is almost (80%) as fast as RAID 0 ATA U66. My WinXP got so much boost in performance that I never had so smooth experience."
"In reply to the previous comment, the ATA133 isn't going to help at all! No IDE hard drive today will go over 50 mb/sec! no where near 133 mb/sec!"
I just bought the drive they're talking about (Maxtor Quiet 80GB 7200RPM), and don't know whether I should run it (and my current IBM for that matter) at 100 or 133. (And where would I set those? BIOS, right?)

You'll only really notice the difference in performance if you put the ATA133's in a RAID array... but if you benchmark them one on one, there is almost no difference...
