Fairly old data, but it shows AMAZING differences in head seek time. I
didn't know head seeks were below 8ms for anything, even today. Also,
from what I've read, the SATA drives of those days were non existent?
The earliest SATA drives I've read about were just SATA interfaces on
OLDER IDE hardware - the manufacutrers had not really signed up on the
concept enough to put their good hardware underneath the interface.
