The more confusing point is ATA/ATAPI-5 is 66mb... UDMA Mode 5 is 100mb/s...

Acording to HITACHI the drive is 66 (drive model number: DK23BA-20). USB 2.0 will only transfer 60MB a second anyway if i've done the Maths right
Want it to transfer files between my 2 computers and my laptop. Also be handy for uni and work. Just pu 8 gig on it and took about 7.5 mins

ATA-5 1 25.0
ATA-5 (ATA-33) 2 33.3

8 Bits to a Byte. Therefore 480 / 8 = 60. 60MBs a second
