    Cool My, my, what a difference IDE makes!

    Finally cracked open my old 80GB FireWire hard drive, and took a perfectly good 80GB 5400rpm IDE hard drive out of the case.

    Check out the benchmarks!

    On FireWire:

    Random Access Time: 22.9ms
    Read Burst Speed: 19.5mbps
    Read Speed Max: 15031.0kps
    Read Speed Min: 2529.0kps
    Read Speed Average: 13299.0kps

    On IDE:

    Random Access Time: 21.6ms
    Read Burst Speed: 82.4mbps
    Read Speed Max: 30042.0kps
    Read Speed Min: 3117.0kps
    Read Speed Average: 24201.5kps

    WOW! The read burst speed quadrupled and the avg read speed doubled!
