What is Ultra ATA/66?

FAQ-Frequently Asked Questions and Answers on ATA 66 ATA66-B...
Ultra ATA/66, also known as Ultra DMA/66, enhances existing ATA (IDE) technology by increasing both performance and data integrity. This new high-speed interface doubles the Ultra ATA/33 burst data transfer rate to 66.6 Mbytes/sec. The result is maximum disc performance using the current PCI local bus environment. For more in depth information, see our ATA to Ultra ATA/66 Technology Paper. Go to Top

What is required to run in Ultra ATA/66 Mode?

FAQ-Frequently Asked Questions and Answers on ATA 66 ATA66-B...
Ultra ATA/66-capable device. (Seagate drives require an activation utility for each device.) Ultra ATA/66 technology is defined such that the PC and the hard drive can both detect the presence of the required 80-conductor cable. The system board must have a special capacitor on pin 34 to detect the cable. The cable must have a notch cut in line 34 to correctly detect an Ultra ATA/66 device. Go to Top

Where can I get the utility to activate Ultra ATA/66 on my drive?

FAQ-Frequently Asked Questions and Answers on ATA 66 ATA66-B...
Eventually, all Ultra ATA/66 drives will be shipped with the utility either on diskette or CD-ROM. In the interim, the utility (UATA66.EXE) can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.seagate.com/techsuppt/seagate_utils/uata66-d.exe. The version available on the web is a self-extracting zip file and must be unzipped and placed on a bootable diskette. Go to Top

What operating systems support Ultra ATA/66?

FAQ-Frequently Asked Questions and Answers on ATA 66 ATA66-B...
Primarily because the operating system is not the controlling factor, most operating systems, including all current Windows versions (Windows 95 (OSR2) and Windows 98), support Ultra ATA/66. Ultra ATA data transfer rate is determined by your hard drive, your controller, and the BIOS. The only requirement on the operating system is to be able to support DMA transfers. Go to Top

Do I need a special Ultra ATA/66 device driver?

FAQ-Frequently Asked Questions and Answers on ATA 66 ATA66-B...
Not necessarily. Because the operating system (Windows 95/98) handles Ultra ATA and Ultra ATA/66 the same as DMA, there should be no special device drivers. However, as with Ultra ATA, not all system boards and BIOSs will correctly interface with the operating system. In these cases, a special device driver or patch will have to be provided by the system board manufacturer to make the system capable of attaining Ultra ATA/66. Go to Top
Related Questions

Is Ultra ATA/66 backward compatible with my current Ultra ATA/33 system?

FAQ-Frequently Asked Questions and Answers on ATA 66 ATA66-B...
Yes. Ultra ATA/66 hard drives are 100 percent backward compatible with both Ultra ATA/33 and DMA and with existing ATA hard drives, CD-ROM drives, and host systems. The Ultra ATA/66 protocol and commands are designed to be compatible with existing ATA devices and systems. Although a new 40-pin, 80-conductor cable is required for Ultra ATA/66, the system board chip set pin connector remains the same at 40.

Can I mix Ultra ATA/33 and Ultra ATA/66 drives on the same cable?

FAQ-Frequently Asked Questions and Answers on ATA 66 ATA66-B...
Yes, a legacy ATA specification drive can coexist with an Ultra ATA/66 drive, and both devices can attain their maximum performance. However, for the Ultra ATA/66 device to attain Ultra DMA 4 mode, an Ultra ATA/66 capable cable is required. Go to Top

How does Ultra ATA/66 attain faster transfer rates?

FAQ-Frequently Asked Questions and Answers on ATA 66 ATA66-B...
Ultra ATA/66 removes bottlenecks associated with data transfers, especially during sequential operations. Ultra ATA/66 requires a special 40-pin, 80-conductor cable that reduces noise bleed-over and improves signal integrity by providing 40 additional ground lines between each of the standard 40-pin ATA signal lines and ground lines.

Related Questions

Why is there a blue, a black, and a gray connector on my Ultra ATA/66 cable?

FAQ-Frequently Asked Questions and Answers on ATA 66 ATA66-B...
The 40-pin, 80-conductor cables support the Cable Detect feature. The blue (end) connector should be connected to the system board. The black (end) connector is known as the master position. The gray (middle) connector can be used for slave devices. Although an Ultra ATA/66 device should work fine in either the black or the gray connector, if you are having difficulty, consider troubleshooting with the drive in the black connector. Go to Top

What is Ultra Emu Oil*?

Our most frequently asked Questions.
The best we can say is, "we're not sure". We believe it to be a marketing ploy of one our competitors. Their explanation of it is that it does something more than "unprocessed emu oil". We have found no proof of this statement, but we guess they are saying that their emu oil does more than raw, unprocessed, un-sterilized, crude emu oil. Of course we all know consumers should not use emu oil that has not been fully refined and Molecularly Distilled.
