hi everyone!

i'm about to buy a new sata HD, but i already have two HD with connection IDE(you know.., the normal slow HD, with the big cable that says master and slave), and i was asking my self that if it is possible to have a sata HD and a IDE HD at the same time in the same computer? how does the CPU will know which one is the slave and which one the master HD? and about this Sata HD, it's a good speed 7200 of buffer(becouse i saw one with 10000, but it is way too expensive )?

I need your help before i buy something...

thankx!

is there a big difference between those SATA 1 and 2?

i also see that kind of HD but the SATA 1 says that has 80GB and the SATA 2 has 120GB.., both of them cost almost the same(dont know why.., SATA 1 cost like $60.9 dollars and the SATA 2 says that it cost $79.9 dollars)...

i'll give the web site, but you will need to translate it with this other site:

right now there is not much difference between the 2 it all depends on your setup .One trans. UP TO 1.5 GB [SATA1] and one trans UP TO 3.0GB[SATA2]when i say transfers up to 1.5 gb thats what it can transfer with the right setup [CPU_MB]most SATA trans around 70mb i would just sugget the SATA1 for you 10000rpm if you can afford it try Tigerdirect

I think I would make my choice basis on 1=seek times 2=cache 3= rpm

i would just sugget the SATA1 for you 10000rpm

the raptor 74gb 10000 wil run both 1 or 2 most all will just have to use the jumper i was telling about

I have 4 of the Raptor 150 Gb. drives. They're 10,000 rpms. but only SATA 1. However, because of the 16 Mb of cache I find they are faster than SATA 2 drives.
If you want a great drive get one of these.




Like I said I have four hooked up to the my onboard Intel RAID in a RAID 0 (Striped) configuration.

The hard drive: Link

The motherboard: Link

Needless to say, in a RAID 0 data transfer in incredibly fast.

7 physical SATA/PATA drives here...with room for 3 more PATA...CD burner...DVD burner and 870gig of drives.  Boot is still the typical IDE0 Master, but secondary [imaged] OS is on IDE1 Master...all the games/data/etc is on the 2 SATAs...
