Controllers ATA 133 su XbitLabs

e ci voleva una prova per vedere che tra Ata133 e Ata100 non ci sono differenze prestazionali...se la matematica non e' un opinione la banda dell'Ata66 non e' saturata...figuriamoci a cosa puo' servire il doppio!!

Ma se non ci sono incrementi prestazionali perchè l'hanno inventato? Boh! A me deve arrivare a breve una MB Abit K7RA con Raid e ATA 133 ... soldi buttati? Non penso .. cmq ciao a tutti! :-)

gli incrementi sono solo sulla carta...in pratica si verificano solo in condizioni limite molto particolari...cioe' mai!!

a conferma dell'aumento nullo di prestazioni:

Well, our second trip to the world of ATA/133 seems to have come to an end. We are happy to state that we didn't discover any stability and compatibility problems during our tests.

Judging by the results obtained in this test session as well as in all the previous ones, we can point out that further performance growth under Windows is no longer limited by the controller itself or its drivers (we do not take ALi into account here: its software guys still have some room for improvement). It is small HDD cache and low bandwidth of the bus between the South and the North chipset bridges that are to blame.

So, in the meanwhile ATA/133 protocol doesn't mean any performance gain, but only the opportunity to connect to the PC hard disk drives with over 137GB storage capacity. As we remember, there is only one HDD like that right now: Maxtor D540X-4G (Neptune) with 160GB storage capacity. But there is a new season ahead and it will definitely bring us some new achievements in the per platter data density. That is why those of you who are assembling their PCs right now should better think about such a trifle as high-quality support of large HDDs… SerialATA standard is still quite far away, and ATA/133 HDDs and controller cards are already available in retail stores.
