Actually, my other IBM UDMA33 drive did 20mB/s on a 600mB IDE to SCSI
transfer in, oh my gosh, Windows NT4 (copied a ISO file), on a UDMA33
controller (also VIA, busmaster driver). And that was on a p166mmx running
nicely at 100Mhz x 2.5 (250Mhz).
Using a newer ATA66 IBM 7200rpm drive, on a VIA chipset, I can sustain
24-25mB/s in both UDMA33 and ATA66 mode. This is a Athlon Asus
K7M system.
Running 2.2.17 on the ATA66 chipset, I get a error claiming that the
driver does not yet support UDMA3 and 4 when I enable ATA66 and DMA
using hdparm -X68 -d 1 -c 1 -k 1 -K 1. That's even with the linux-ide.org
2.2.17 IDE patches.
In 2.4 however, it goes up to ATA66 automaticly, as shown by
dmesg.

I was talking 24-25mB/s - not 100mB/s. Biiiig difference ;-)
The 10k rpm u160scsi drive, yet again a IBM, sustains
about 34-38mB/s.
Remember, I'm not talking fragmented reads here. Thats is a whole
different universe. .
