IDE vs SATAII Comparison Question

[Cal_G]

Hi have both the SATAII and IDE version of the Seagate 7200.10 320GB, here are the results of both, First pic is IDE, second SATAII:

Does this seem about right? The SATAII is nearly full, is this why it's slightly slower?

Cheers

Thanks, thought it was about right myself but just wanted to be sure

Must say though, the SATAII drive makes more noise than the IDE. SATAII seems to grind were the IDE whirls (if that makes any sense), copying files between the 2 is super speed, shame my BIOS won't detect the SATAII so I can use it as the boot drive, although looking at the results, it probably wouldn't make any difference at all

SATA-II should be much faster,

IDE/ATA-6 does a transfer rate of 133 Mbps
SATA-II does a transfer rate of up to 300 Mbps

I just covered it in my Computer maintaince book thats how I know

As stated above, that's only the burst rate, with large file transfers it seems to make no real world performance difference at all.
