Ultra narrow: 50 pins, 8 bits, 20 megabytes/second.
Ultra wide: 68 pins, 16 bits, 40 megabytes/second.

The table is misleading  since the Quantum 3240S and below are all "fast"


$65 will easily buy a 4 gig ultra narrow drive, Seagate, IBM, etc.

But I doubt that these Quantum narrow drives do 20 MB/sec.
