ATA/100 backward compatible with ATA/66?

[Guest]

Are ATA/100 hard drives backwards compatible with the ATA/66 interface.. i.e. can i install an ATA/100 rated hard drive in a computer that only has an ATA/66 controller and expect everthing to work ok? Please answer or point me to good information on this topic. Thank you.

Should work okay, but you'll only be able to get the speed of the ATA66 standard.

Yes, one of mine computers has an ATA100 drive on an ATA33 card, it will work.

My case has so many fans that it hovers above the ground 😱 .

we REALLLLLY need a "Read the DAMN FAQ"

i.e.
1. if your athlon aint lockin up its fine!
2. PC133 is backwards compatible!
3. ata100 drives are backwards compatibe!
4. dont even think of asking "which is better athlon or p4?"
5. we really mean No.4.

If using an ATA/100 drive in an ATA/66 interface, you will be limited to 66 mb/sec instead of 100/mb sec is what I think arrow was trying to say. But since even the fastest ATA drives have yet to be able to transfer 66 mb/sec, it would only matter if using more than one drive in RAID, in which case you would need a RAID interface anyway.

That doesn't make any sense. FA-Q sounds like "F*ck you", you realize that, right?

Well, I understand what you thought. You were thinking FA-KKK, but I was thinking, FA-"Q", as in the letter "Q".
