Thanks for the reply. Nothing about the serial ata drive that is faster
other than the 150 vs. 133? Maybe I'm already getting the benefit with the
sata port and adapter?

No. You'll get 150 - 133= 17 17/150 x 100= 11% increase in speed,
ideally.
Not real noticeable.

What factors contribute to the performance difference between a true
sata
drive, and an ide drive with a SATA adaptor?

I have 2 maxtor ide 133s attached to sata ports (with adaptors) in a
striped
raid array. I am interested in increasing drive performance. If I move
the
partition to a pair of striped true sata drives (not chosen), would I
expect
a significant increase in performance?
