I have three of them in my box, and there are even faster drives
now on the market.  The three I have cost about 55% of the price
of the same drive with a SCSI connector instead of ATA4.

The bonnie results are also as good (actually, better)
as any SCSI numbers I have ever seen posted.

Come out of the stone ages.. IDE did.
