transfer rate of 100MB/s. ATA-6 includes advancements in error checking and ATA-6
drives are compatible with future interface additions.
The on-board ATA-6 controller is able to support the following IDE HDD:
Geode™ CS5536 ATA-6 Controller
Ultra ATA/100, with data transfer rates up to 100MB/s
Ultra ATA/66, with data transfer rates up to 66MB/s
Ultra ATA/33, with data transfer rates up to 33MB/s
