Noticed this a while back just one thing to be wary of this is a UIDE133
disc
and that 'standard' is only currently suppported by some of the
manufacturers. As I understand it you need a motherboard with a different
southbridge chip to support uide133 and I haven't seen any advertised,
alternatively you could use a uide133 controller but again I havent seen
any
out there. The main limitation is on the addressing of the space (I think
current systems top out at 137GB address space or something like that)and
many manufacturers aren't supporting uide133 but will go straight to serial
ATA discs.

All of the above is from memory so probably contains factual errors but if
you want the real info look on toms hardware.

Apart from that I want 4 of these in a raid array!!!!

Cheers
Mick
