I have a question here too about harddisk. www.tomshardware.com has a harddisk test, the result shows none of ATA 66 drives tested can break the 33Mbps limition (see www.tomshareware.com for details), so what is the meaning of 33, 66 or 100 if the drives cannot perform that fast? Are they just
marketing number?

I want to know what available and affordable drives out there support the 100Mb burst transfer rate. Has anyone tried this? Any experiences?
