if you have noisy cables and someone turns off udma,
yes, you could certainly see corruption. if you can
possibly ever use udma, it's a very good idea to do so;
only with it are transfers checksummed. 80-conductor
cables are always advantageous as well, though only
required over udma33. (remember that valid IDE cables
are always <= 18" long, with no stubs...)
