If you do not understand the subject, why do you respond.  There is not a
drive in existence capable of sustained 16mb/s transfer...alll UDMA does is
increase the burst rate.....your hard drive speed is dependant on the hard
drive...the rate at which the cache is read is dependent on other factors,
including the type of interface.   This drive will never be faster.  For
that you need a faster drive.....

Because you cannot find SIS udma drivers, therefore the sis chipset does not
support udma?   What a crock, here is a link:
http://web2.airmail.net/ksm/software.htm
and here is another:
http://www.sis.com.tw/html/driver.html

Now here is a link with info about sis chipsets:
http://www.sis.com.tw/html/product.html

You will find that indeed, there are sis chipsets that support UDMA....
now please. if you must draw conclusions without researching the topic
first, keep it to yourself.  You look like such an idiot when you do
that.....
