Our final test is a read transfer rate test using K-Probe drive tester.
K-Probe
Read Transfer Rate - IDE
K-Probe Read Transfer Rate - SATA
Both drives have the same rate of increase as the head gets closer to the outer edge of the disc, but even in a simple read test, the IDE drive struggles at around 10X speed, failing to go any higher, while the SATA drive continues its rise in speed without any problem. It just keeps looking better and better for the SATA drive.
