Seagate Barracuda Drive

[Norman Chan]

Anyone know what is the difference between Seagate Barracuda harddisk when stated as "ATA II" and "ATA" and "ATA66" ?

Hmm, not entirely sure if I understand what you asking about, but here goes.

The Seagate Barracuda was originally the name of Seagate's 'mid-class' SCSI harddisk series.

When they made a 7200 RPM IDE (or ATA if you prefer), they called it Barracuda ATA, this has been replaced by the Barracuda ATA II, which is a newer model.

The ATA66 refers to the ATA66 standard (also known as UDMA mode 4 or Ultra DMA 66), so that could refer to either model.
