What happens if I use an ATA-33 cable on an ATA-66 ulta system
This might not be the right forum, as this is more of an eIDE question
than a Windows one, but I wasn't 100 percent sure that the problem was the hard drive, but it might have been the cable or worse the port. I got a "new" drive and a "new" cable from a friend who has several dead computers that he keeps around for parts. However, now the old drive seems to be transferring data rather slowly compared to how it was before. Copying to Vista on a fast ethernet network only goes at about 40k/sec. Is it possible that the cable my friend gave me was an ATA-33 or older one? What else could make things go so slow? Before I got several MB per second. I'm pretty sure this Dell Optiplex GX-110 is an ATA-66 Ultra system. The slow speed is NOT just limited to the network, but from HD to HD. |
