Questions about this item
Does the IDE Ultra ATA66 / ATA-5 interface limit throughput to 66 MB/s in practice?
Yes, the Ultra ATA66 specification caps the burst transfer rate at 66 MB/s, so sustained speeds will be at or below that figure.
What physical dimensions and mounting does the 2.5 inch TravelStar 40GN need?
The drive uses the standard 2.5 inch form factor with a 44-pin IDE connector and mounts in any laptop bay or caddy that accepts a 2.5 inch IDE drive.
How is this bare drive installed, and which step is often missed?
Connect the 44-pin IDE ribbon and set the master or slave jumper on the drive before securing it in the bay; forgetting the jumper setting is the common error.
