My PATA HD and DVD are on the same channel and the HD benches up to
its maximum of 40 Mb/S.
Device manager lists them at UDMA 133 and 33. Win XP Home. Whether
this can happen may depend on the bios.
Hi Ed, and what has this to do with the OP's inquery?
He asked about SATA!

You missed part of the thread. Though I had some news server problems
and maybe answered a bit off the appropriate sub-thread. Not sure. I
had to skip some messages that wouldn't load.
The OP presently has a pata m/b and doesn't really want a pci sata
card. One alternative suggested was to get a pata drive and later it
would still work on a newer motherboard, then that newer motherboards
have only one pata channel, then that having a hd and dvd on the same
channel should drop the udma speed to the dvd's.
No it doesnt.
Now my post is relevant.
No it isnt, its just plain wrong.
