ATA133 Controllers Have Arrived

Spot writes "If you're a hardware junkie, then you may already know ATA133 is on it's way to becoming the new standard for drive controllers. LittleWhiteDog has a very detailed look into the Promise Ultra133 TX2 Controller and Maxtor's D740X-6L ATA133 interface drive. " And I just bought a few 100g drives :) I still find it funny that every couple years I buy new hard drives always for around $200... 120 megs, 800 megs, 2.5G, 12G, 30G, 100G. I love this.

Re:cant wait... VS vs. VS. ...

Boy, you surely took him down a notch or two! I'd like to make a few points, though:

• You caught the misuse of then, but not the missing apostrophe in cant.
• You omitted the period in your abbreviation of versus.
• All five lines of your corrective post are sentence fragments; none are grammatically correct.
• The Jello® trademark is a proper noun; it should be capitalized.

Also, you didn't seem to notice that the original poster didn't even use punctuation in two out of three sentences. Obviously, it was a troll for anal grammarians. Based on your previous post, I'd say the trap has sprung, and caught us both.

Taco, you fuckwit, it's "ITS" not "IT'S".

I don't know. I can shake a stick at a lot of RAM.

Re:Does Maxtor have ATA133 patented?

[scorcherer]

Are other ATA standards patented like this, by Maxtor or other companies like Western Digital or Seagate?
