Depends. With UDMA 3 or before you can get data corruption. I
had this with a burner that did not support data checksums on
UDMA 3. Most HDDs do suuport these checksums, but the
standard does not require it before UDMA 4. For all UDMA
levels you can get command corruption, checksums on commands
are not present before SATA.

It also depends on lenght. My experiences are (If I remember
correctly): 30cm - works, 45cm - data corruption with the
burner, 60cm - command problems with HDDs, 90cm - basically
unusable with HDDs being dropped by the kernel within
minutes. Cable quality can influence that in both directions.

The home made mod doesn't seem to have as much protection from
intereference.

True, but neither did the original 40 wire cables either.

Ready made rounded PATA/IDE cables arrange the wires (signal
and ground) as twisted pairs.

Some do, some dont.

Don't know how much difference this makes.

Not much.

My impression is that the 80-way PATA cables were a big improvement
on the old 40-way cables. Does anyone know of any data or tests
which shows how much improvement they gave?

In this thread Igor Batinic says twisted pair is quite an
improvement over untwisted. Does anyone know of any tests or
comparisons for this?

The primary point of using 80 conductor cables was impedance matching to
reduce the standing waves at the high data rates. It makes little or
no difference whether they are twisted or not. Theoretically twisting
should improve interference rejection, but I suspect that it would be
very difficult to quantify.

Rolling the cable into a tube or using twisted pairs in a tube, probably
would have some effect on the air circulation inside the case. Doing
smoke tests don't show any real advantage over flat ones. The case
design has to be really poor, like some of the "Philips" machines I've
seen where the thing is so cramped the air circulation is almost nil.

Look into the standard. They made UDMA speeds of 66MHz and above
possible by adjusted impedance and inter-wire shilding. It is
not so much about a better cable as one adjusted to what you
intend to send over it.

That is historic by now. Look into any undergraduate text on
signal transmission.

It is hard to find exact tests, cause we'll need separate tests for all
possible combinations - new cable is defined in standard, maybe you can
find some tests via Google.

A plenty of that, also Google a little bit. Therefore, whenever you have
any kind of high-speed copper connection, twisted pair must be used to
reduce the noise in the cable. You can find, also, twisted ribbon cable
(pretty standard cable in SCSI).

Only because the controllers refused to use the faster modes unless an 80 wire cable is used.

Quote:

It wouldnt be that hard to test, just make up a 40 wire cable that
pretends to be 80 wire as far as the controller is concerned and
monitor the SMART error data. Dunno if anyone has bothered.

There have been plenty on the general concept. Presumably
someone has done that with the round IDE cables.

"twisted pair must be used" isn't totally accurate.
TP technology has been the design of choice for over a century, but it
doesn't lend itself to two constraints on cabling for computers.. cheap
and compact.

The sig-gnd-sig-gnd layout of an 80 wire EIDE cable does work well.

I've seen/used twisted-pair ribbon cables, but I didn't have to buy them.

It was more a figure of speech than a technical law. Surprised)

But, of course, it is in specific areas.

Of course it does, if you keep it the way it is supposed to.

Which means, if you don't cut it and try to create "rounded" cable of
it. Then you can expect some problems. Therefore good rounded cables
have completely different cable schematics.

It was almost a non-written standard in all latest SCSI implementations.
Of course you will not need it for ATA implementation (and I doubt you
can find something like that).

That look good.

Presumably the twisting doesn't create extra problems so (apart
form cost) why aren't PATA cables like that?

Essentially because the traditional 80 wire cable is good enough.

They did go for a much smaller serial cable with SATA.
