Is Sata 150 7200rpm faster then IDE 7200rpm?

[igotyofire]

seek times look about the same, the serial drive seems pointless unless its a 10,000rpm drive?

Well a SATA drive can transfer at 150mbps where as an IDE can only do 133mbps.

and SATA2 can reach 3Gb/sec

 

[reggie_da_man]

Yea that to.

Not significantly.

 

[reggie_da_man]

But the faster transfer rate will make the noticable difference.

 

[Flanker]

No no, I'm serious. You won't notice it. 17mbps more is SO tiny...plus you barely ever use it.

 

[reggie_da_man]

It will shave some time off loading games.

 

[Vybuni]

Maybe like a second or two....
