ATA/100 is a new IDE specification under developing. ATA/100 uses both rising edge and falling edge as
time is reduced to 40ns. The data transfer rate is (1/40ns) x 2 bytes x 2 = 100MB/s. To use ATA/100, you need special 80-wire
IDE cable, the same as ATA/66.

transfer rates from more responsive computing experiences.
