No, but I've got a u160 and a u320 SCSI drive in my computer - trouble
is you can't get u320 controller cards yet so I am limited to 160Mbps.

I wouldn't worry about it too much Phil, as even with 10,000 RPM discs
(which mine are) you don't get more than around 55Mbps off the disc. The
main use is in servers where you have multiple discs installed.

Liken it to a LAN where although the total speed of the LAN is 100Mbps,
you tend not to get 100Mbps transfer rates between two machines.

Tim.

Has anyone actually ordered *AND RECEIVED* a 160Gb ATA133 IDE drive yet?

A friend has had one on order for several weeks now from ebuyer and they
don't seem to be supplying ny useful information as to when they should
arrive.
