Actually, the difference between UDMA33 and UDMA66 mode occurs mostly in
the cache, I should be getting in the upwards of 20MB/s with UDMA33, the
first drive is gettings speeds i would expect, but the second is
drastically slower even though logic of ide drives dictate it should be
going faster since it is bigger. At least this is the general pattern you
see with ide drives.
