hard drive — Will installing an Ultra ATA cable backwards affect performance?

I’ve recently purchased a hard drive upgrade for my Xbox: 320GB WD Caviar Blue WD3200AAJB and StarTech. com Ultra ATA/66/100/133 cable IDE66 (yes I’m crazy).
When it came to installing the cable, it was too short (my fault), and there wasn’t enough space between the master and slave ends to reach both the DVD drive and the hard drive. The only thing I could do was install the cable backwards and twisting it quite a bit to make it fit.
The upgrade works, but reading the manual for the hard drive I replaced (10GB Seagate U Series 5), apparently there is a specific way you have to connect the cable.
I don’t have that option, so the question comes down to, will my drive performance be at Ultra ATA levels, or is it still performing at original ATA speeds?
Is there any way I can test this (benchmarking software for Xbox)?

On a normal PC using a wrong connector for the host will prevent detection of a 80 conductor cable due to the missing short between pin 34 and ground and thus reduce maximum transfer mode to Ultra DMA 2 (33 MB/s). Unfortunately I don’t know if a Xbox behaves the same and if there is some benchmarking software. I suggest to simply do some I/O operation and check if speeds get above 33 MB/s.
