What exactly is the point? thinner cables/more air flow? I don't know for a fact where the holdups in ATA are, maybe the identical drive can deliver faster through a different interface - you are the electrical engineer :-) for instance if you put the fast drive in a usb enclosure and attached it to a usb 1.1 port, it'd go slow. attache it to a usb2 port it would go faster. same disk, different interface. > > Thanks, > > Volker > > -- > Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in > header > http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me. -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
