Well, mixed results...
I got the No 80-pin cable error, and the BIOS shows it as a ATA-33 drive. But, since the performance never seemed to drop, I ran SiSoft Sandra's File System Benchmark.
First of all... This is a 10GB Fujitsu drive, which I know is 4200RPM, but I don't know much else. Not sure what class it is, but it has the model Number MK1517GAP, HDD2157.
So... Here are some "Drive Index" results as compared to similar drives in the Sandra database:
My test drive... 18 MB/s
ATA-100, 4200RPM, 60GB... 15 MB/s
ATA-100, 4200RPM, 20GB... 10 MB/s
ATA-66, 4200RPM, 20GB... 10 MB/s
ATA-33, 4200RPM, 6.4GB... 6 MB/s
So... the benchmarked performance exceeds ATA-100 speeds, despite the BIOS report.
Not sure what the deal is, but I will contact Logic Supply to see if they know.
Thanks vanaalten!
