ATA 100

Quick question:

I have a hard drive that is ATA 100 compatible. I have two ATA 100 7200RPM hard drives.

I am running Windoze 2000 SP2.

I am lucky if I get 30 Meg a second data transfer rates… what’s the deal??? I thought that ATA 100 is supposed to mean 100 meg a second data transfer rate…

Also, I’m running a 1.4G Athlon and I have 768M o Ram… So it’s not a resource thing. Antivirus is disabled during transfers also.

Anyone with advice, plese let me know. I would love to hear it. I’ve been reading about ATA133 and I figure, with ATA100 being a flop, why even think about upgrading…

Thanks;)
