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! ;)

well i guess the firewire drive is going for portability, you son't have to rip open the computer if you want to take a HUGE program, or a movie in uncompressed RGB format to the other side of town :)
