What do you mean by "ATA vs EIDE"? In the context of hard disks they're
for all practical purposes the same thing. Do you perhaps mean SATA vs
parallel ATA?

Hello,
I've read the specs on the ATA vs. EIDE drives. I'm curious if anyone has
actually tested an ATA on the same motherboard as they have an EIDE and
noticed a difference. Of course I'm talking about similar hard drives 7200,
8mb, 100+gig.
If there is a better newsgroup for this please let me know.

Hmmm.... what's the difference? Have a link?

Are you talking about a comparison of Serial ATA contra Parallell ATA?

I can post different models - e.g

I'm not concerned about specs though - I was curious about actual
performance testing.

Thanks, I guess what I'm asking is, has anyone seen any difference in the
performance between two similar hard drives (not specs but actual
experience)

No, he doesn't have a clue.
They must still use the word EIDE on retail boxes for the noobs.

I've read the specs on the ATA vs. EIDE drives.
No such animal with EIDE. Its just an obsolete term now.
IDE is just another name for ATA.
I'm curious if anyone has actually tested an ATA on the same
motherboard as they have an EIDE and noticed a difference.
Its the same thing.
Of course I'm talking about similar hard drives 7200, 8mb, 100+gig.
There are no EIDE drives with those specs now.

You're massively confusing SATA and ATA drives. The
last is an ATA drive, even tho some stupid monkey has
used EIDE quite a bit on that page. Have a look at
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=42
and you'll find the correct term ATA used.
