Is there any benefit to using an ATA 66/100 IDE cable with a CDR or CDRW drive, or will an ATA33 IDE cable be sufficient?

If your IDE controller is ATA 66 or 100, then it'd be a good idea to get that cable, in case you get a drive in the future that supports it. ATA33 would be sufficient, but it's always good to have insight.

One of the major HDD manufacturers (can't remembers which one) suggested that using ATA-66 cables could increase data integrity even with ATA-33 systems. I never heard anything conclusive on this subject however.
