How to check what ATA HDD is running at...

[EvanGeliSt]

Question stated in topic. Anyone have any idea?

Just curious since i read somewhere that the transfer rates is dependent on the slower device. So if i have two HDD connected, and both of them support ATA 100, does that necessarily mean I'm running at that speed?

<--- nOOb here .... been a long while before i started looking whatever was inside my computer...

If ya have a Intel based system use Application Accelorator..

Use a benchmark program like Sandra to see what your transfer rates are. ATA100 versus ATA133 makes zero difference...you'll be lucky to get half of that...50MBps.

One of those SMART monitoring programs would provide that info.
