| 194545 | 2003-11-25 09:35:00 | If say I bought a ATA-133 HDD and my computer could support up to ATA-66. would the HDD "reduce" its speed to ATA-66? | fus1_n (3818) | ||
| 194546 | 2003-11-25 09:51:00 | yep word of caution, if you have a slow device eg cd-rom at ATA-33 on an IDE cable sharing a hard drive at ATA -66 ,100 or 133 , the IDE port will only run at the slowest device speed. So put all your slow devices on one IDE channel, normally secondary and put your hard drive with your operating system on your primary IDE channel |

| 194548 | 2003-11-25 23:21:00 | yes but there is a way around it by buying a PCI ATA controller card like i did that supports ata133 speed | kiwibeat (304) | ||

(you can only go as fast as the weakest link) transfering to other channels that are already running in 66 should result in transfer rates at 66 |
