HD Int./Ext. transfer rates.What r they?

by aadominguez . Updated 24 years, 11 months ago

Reviewing the specs on a Hard Drive, I noticed it mentioned max. internal and external transfer rates. The internal transfer rate had ‘media to buffer’ enclosed in parenthesis and was set at 100 Mb/sec while the external had ‘buffer to host’ in parenthesis and was set at 46.7 Mb/sec. I thought when the interface was ATA/100, it was transfering info. from your HD to your CPU @ 100 Mb/sec. Can someone straighten me out? What about SCSI’s transfer rates? Are those rates from the HD to the CPU?
