Input/Output

1)Does the Intel® Server Board SE7500CW2 support Ultra ATA/33/66/100 hard drives?

Yes. One of the features of the Intel Server Board SE7500CW2 is its ability to support all Ultra ATA transfer rates (i.e., 33MB/sec, 66MB/sec, and 100 MB/sec). To take advantage of the increased bandwidth available on the IDE channels, a hard drive that implements higher spindle speeds and a large onboard buffer size may be required.

2)What IDE cable should I use to support both Ultra ATA/100 and previous IDE transfer protocols.

A 40-pin, 80-conductor cable can be used with Server Board SE7500CW2 and is fully backward compatible with all IDE transfer protocols. It will also support Ultra ATA/100 if used with one or two Ultra ATA/100 drives attached.
