What is difference between Ultra ATA100 and ATA 100?

My motherboard supports "ATA100", but the thorny drive I have surrounded by mind says it is IDE Ultra ATA100. Is nearby a difference?

What is difference between Ultra ATA100 and ATA 100?

Technically they are synonymous. ATA/100 supports Ultra DMA 100 mode, which your hard drive is skilled of. Basically, your motherboard can support ATA/100 capable hardrives up to UDMA 5 also set as Ultra DMA 100.
You will find faster access times with Ultra ATA. Your PC will adopt what you have. But do yourself a favor and replace your existing cable,40 pin. They are cheap.
