Joe, re: "The transfer rate is nothing to write home about, and must be limited by ATA 100 interface." Looking at the product's home page the 100MB/s (the interface limit) is the burst speed while sustained is a more modest 40MB/s -- marketing just like HD. I wonder how the burst is considerably higher? Cache? m-systems.com But your point about the width being variable so they could achieve higher throughputs makes sense. But they seem to have not yet reached the limit of the present interface wrt bandwidth -- but the latency is nice relative to conventional drives. We need a review of one of these from StorageReview. :) I always smile at the potential to transfer at ATA133 from that 2MB of cache on a HD before the speed drops. ;) When available it _is_ nice but the HD tasks I notice are of the GB variety. -PT
