Is this a sata drive or a serial ata drive?

Your answer to both is yes because SATA is Serial ATA drive. Happy hunting.

Short answer: Serial ATA and SATA are the same thing.Long answer: Back in 1984 when IBM releaced it's PC AT, the AT stood for "Advanced Technology". Hard Drives were connected using the "AT Attachment" interface (or ATA). Modern day computers use the much faster "Serial ATA" interface or "SATA" to connect CD/DVD's and hard drives. Serial ATA and SATA are just two different ways of saying the same thing.

This hard drive is compatible with sata 6gb? I hope your early reply thank you in advance.

I used a 160 GB Serial ATA (SATA) Hard Drive that I removed from an old Dell computer. It works fine.

The utility software? That can be found on the Adata web site. Shouldn't need anything else to make the drive work, as long as you have a SATA port available.

Depends on computer. Go to profile on computer an it will list what it is. IDE is to old interface SATA in newer.

As far as I know it is SATA III but remember it is very difficult to replace the drive. You must completely disassemble the machine since the drive is on top of the board next to the keyboard, not on the underside like most laptops.

This is a SATA drive and your system uses IDE, I would suggest buying a SATA to IDE adapter

Any SATA drives will work, but I would recommend using the same drives in both bays.

It turns out the SATA port is just a pass through for the eSata port on the outside of the card. There is no built in SATA port on this board.

The device uses a standard SATA port. I personally don't really like the device and am planning on getting a better more costly version. It worked for me once...and not a couple of other times when i tried to clone with it.

It is not SATA technology. It is PATA or EIDE. I bought this for my older computer that still works great but these drives are no longer available in local stores.

Thanks - trying to find out before purchasing, but I found some posts on Newegg that indicate they are SATA (maybe they changed from IDE to SATA and this is why it isn't in the specs).

Standard SATA connectors, will work with any SATA port. May not be the cheapest drive you can buy for what you're describing, but that's your call.

SATA, SATA2 and SATA3 all have the same physical pin layout. Each version represents the next level in serial ATA throughput. You can plug in a SATA 2 drive into a SATA port on a computer and it will run at SATA speed.

Just like everyone else is saying. Make sure you're comp is SATA III and you can find that out by lookin on your Motherboard, or the box it came with or an internet search

this would be a PATA drive to my knowledge. SATA has a small slot style connector instead of all the pins
