1 megabyte pdf on the range of 802.11a
This pdf talks about the range of 802.11a and how they tested it, and it also includes some cool charts comparing it to 802.11b. It turns out the farther your computer is away from the base station the slower the connection is.
Even the fastest ide harddrives can only send data at a constant stream at a max of 35 megs/sec. What is the point of using 66/100/133? Yeah you can read the cache data faster, but the times for reading the cache for these interfaces in seconds.03/.02/0.15 so is there any significant improvement here? Hell no! What the drive makers need to start doing is making drives that can read/record data faster rather than creating faster/expensive interfaces that we don't need and the only reason anyone would get one of these controllers is that they are an idiot or bragging rights. But what real preformance are you getting out of this drive. There is no gain in using these drives, and they are more expensive, if you have the money just get a bigger drive.
