The Beige mobo's EIDE/UATA controllers are theoretically limited to 16.67 MB/sec. With a UATA/133 controller (and drive), the performance is limited by the Beige's bus. Personally, I have found an UATA/66 controller (and any drive from /66 to /133) is near optimal for the Beige. YMMV. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
