164299 2003-07-31 12:51:00 I'm planning on buying either a 60 gig HD ATA 133 or a 80 gig HD ATA100. Both have similar seek times and an rpm of 7200. While the ATA133 can push more data, is the PCI bus a bootle-neck for one or both of them? willtell (4339)
164300 2003-07-31 18:45:00 If you can tell the difference between them you are smarter than me. I had a Maxtor 133 until it blew up. I replaced it with a Seagate 100. No discernable difference. JJJJJ (528)
164301 2003-07-31 19:38:00 You won't see any difference between these two. Where you will notice a discernible difference is between say 7200 and 5400 rpm and 2mb vs 8mb cache. blkskull (4325)
