The Deskstar 22GXP and 25GP family has an advanced Ultra ATA interface that supports transfer rates
of up to 66.6 MB/sec. To take advantage of the higher transfer rate, your computer will need to have a
controller that supports the Ultra ATA/66 interface and a 40-pin, 80 conductor cable. If you have an older
interface such as Multi-word DMA Mode-2, PIO Mode-4, or Ultra ATA/33 the drive will still function, but
will be limited to data transfer speeds significantly lower than 66.6MB/sec due to the lower speed of your
controller. If you have a slower controller, you may wish to purchase an Ultra ATA/66 controller card to
take advantage of Deskstar’s 66.6MB/sec data transfer rate. An Ultra ATA/66 controller card will fit into
any available slot in your computer. At this printing, Promise Technology is the only company offering an
Ultra ATA/66 controller card. For more information, see their Web site at:
