Serial ATA...hopeful improvement?
Ok, now that we've all figured out that ATA66 isn't much faster than ATA33 for real usage and ATA100 isn't much faster than ATA66, is Serial ATA really going to be faster than Ultra160 SCSI and give a good portion of the rated speed, or is it just adding insult to ATA100 injury? I've got quad ATA100 drives right now (not in a waste of time IDE RAID setup) and pretty disappointed with performance...all four are 7200rpm Deskstars w/ 2 meg cache etc etc etc, but still not much more than 20 megs a second even on a good day. Don't want to spend money on an Ultra160 SCSI card if Serial ATA is going to be all its supposed to be...
Thanks for any input -
