The 7000 family supports ATA-100, but due to the fact that you only put one drive on a port, it's basically unnecessary; the ata-66 model is 'equivalent' to an ATA-133 controller in terms of bandwidth available to a single drive in a fully-loaded configuration. There are good reasons to buy a 7000 family controller, but the "must have" appeal of ATA-100 is not one of them.

But not because people want to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force people to take different points of view.
