- Could someone please tell me if there is major differencies
- between IDE controller cards regarding the transfer rate?
- I am going to buy a Western Digital 212 Mb IDE - disk at a
- local store, and the salesman tells me that a controller
- card to 30$ is just as good as a more expensive one.
- Norton's SI estimates about 700 Kb/s with this card.
- Not particulary fast ,is it? Is it likely that the transfer
- rate would be better with another card? And what about
- controller cards with hardware cache?
-
- Can someone sort this out for me?
-
- Thanks.
