Ok, I accept that specs do lie, but shouldn't this drive keep pace with the 12.6GB ultra ata drive in my B&W G3/300? That said, chill out Earl I was just asking a simple question! Most people out there are much bigger dumb asses than me. At least I'm not a peecee using drone!!!

No, the newer UTA33/66 IDE drives check out pretty fast, but you really didn't get such a bad deal. Also the pin adapters slow the drives down a bit.

Earl, I didn't pay a lot for the card and drive, I guess I know why. Oh well at least it gives me a place to stow large files.
