It's definitely useful in identifying what generation of hard drive you're talking about. Remember, other things being equal, newer hard drives tend to be faster, because of improvements in size (smaller = faster seeking) and rotational speed. The common perception that "ATA133" and such lead to higher performance is caused by the fact that the hard drives in question genuinely _are_ faster (for reasons having nothing to do with the theoretical maximum bus transfer rate). -- Cheers, There are only 10 types of people in this world -- Rick Moen those who understand binary arithmetic and those who don't.
