To the defense of IDE…
I just read this afternoon that the Mode 4 and mode 5 IDE's will be shipping
this spring in time for Comdex. About a quarter behind schedule! The mode 5
will have a sustained transfer rate of 20MB / sec. I now use a mode 3 WD
Caviar drive with a Mode 3 Side 2 controller and it is the fastest thing I've
seen at 3.5 Mb/sec. It's the HD on my Video Machine system. I'm sitting tight
to see what happens but unless necessary, now is not the time to get heavily
invested in HD's. Too much is about to happen real soon. Things will probably
stabilize after Comdex in April.
