ATA133 Controllers Have Arrived

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the bigger-faster-nifty-kean dept.

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.

    SCSI is dead.

    Just try and hot-swap an IDE disk. Then try to build a terabyte with IDE.

    For comparable speed there is little difference in price.

    Hmm, looking at pricewatch, I see that 1 50 gig 7200 RPM drive is $500. 2 25 gig 5400 RPM drives (equivalent to 50 gigs at 10800 RPM), is $150.
