Is there any difference between an Ultra 100 IDE cable and an Ultra 133?

As you allready have been told, this is mostely a marketing scheme

In my mailserver, I was replacing all my "normal" cables with rounded,
to make better use of the internal spacing, and have more air cirkulation.

( The cables I was getting from a friend of mine in Denmark for free )

And some of the cables, the only one marked 133, had additional screening around them,
and came with a ground cable connected to the scrren, for screewing it to the chassis and make sure
any disturbing signals will be "tied" to ground, making sure the data won't be influenced.

I bought 2 rounded ones and after I got home noticed one says Ultra 100 and the other Ultra 133.&nbsp; Both have 80 wires, of course, and the same color coding on the primary, slave and mobo connectors.&nbsp; I couldn't find anything on my Google searches about this particular point.

as far as i know, the only difference is an ATA133 cable is a marketing scheme to get you to pay more money [/b][/quote]
I agree with making u pay more money quote.
All things that are faster than the previous version have always cost more.

Back to the ATA 100 and 133 stuff.

Refer to this link :http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/A/ATA.html

it provides a brief description of the ATA 100

ATA 133 - the difference is that the transfer rate is 133MBps
