I'm ready to buy a new hard drive for my PC. I'm thinking of getting a Western Digital Drive with Enhanced IDE. FreeBSD supports IDE drives. Will it support an Enhanced IDE drive? If so, will it support Enhanced IDE's enhanced features such as faster transfer rates? Or will it behave like a standard IDE drive? Thanks in advance. David Eisner cradle@wam.umd.edu
