ok sata hard drive are for desktop computers. sata11 hard drive are for laptop computers that use the new sata11. all new toshiba g25 come with them so they can raid them

You will get the right answer from the vendor when you buy a new hard drive by giving the following details.\n\n1.The make and model of the motherboard and\n2.The version of Windows you are  using.\n\nAll new hard disks now come with SATA (serial ATA) connection.  The preferred speed is 7200 rpm but for laptops many people settle for lower speed of 5000 rpm since they are cheaper.\n\nOld motherboards like Socket 7 can recognize hard disks with maximum 20GB capacity in LBA mode in 2-5GB capacity running Windows 98SE. \n\nWhen you use Windows 98, disk fragmentation in partitions with only 2GB capacity can be be done faster than the larger size partitions of 3-5GB. \n\nLatest motherboards like ASUS P4V8X-X running Windows XP can read large capacity hard disks. The speed depends on the RAM. Older SD RAMs are slower but DDR RAM modules run much faster.\n\nAll external hard drives are recognized instantly by Windows XP but you have to install a driver if you are using Windows 98SE.\n\nWhen you buy a new hard disk, you must always ask for the vendor's confirmation about the compatibility by giving the version of Windows you are using and also the motherboard maker's model number. Otherwise, you may have difficulty getting the replacement.

I think linux might detect SATA as a SCSI drive. On some motherboards, Windows does not recognize SATA either and needs the floppy disk with drivers. \nI think I had luck with Fedora Core 4 and SATA drives. Also try Xandros.

Your second hard drive needs to also be an Ultra ATA hard drive (the size can be whatever you need). The hard drive controller installed in your computer will support at least two hard drives, the second one installed is called the "slave" (if you encounter that question in the install instructions). 7200 RPM is standard (the speed that the drive spins) but if you can get something faster for a decent price, that would be a good upgrade. A faster RPM means less time to retrieve data and therefore better performance. If you have a Dell, I would start with their website as the starting point to get some idea of pricing. Also, pretty much every large electronics store has these types of hard drives as they are standard upgrades.

SATA is abbreviation from Serial ATA. The old connection from hard disk to mother board is using Ultra ATA where you acccess one hard disk one at a time. So if there are two hard disks, the mother board will switch one another to read datas from the hard disk.\nHowever, using the SATA Hard disk, with SATA connectors and SATA supported motherboard, the motherboard can get the data from two hard disk simultaneously. Therefore SATA hard disk will be faster than Ultra ATA or IDE hard disk. (With condition that there are 2 hard disks at once).\nOtherwise, if there is only one hard disk... can't really tell the difference. But I believe the SATA is better since it is newer.

the short answer is the HD you have will connect to the motherboard you have.\n\nthe long answer is that there are 2 standards of connectors\n\nSata = Serial ATA \nPata = Parallel ATA used to be called only ATA before the pata was introduced few years ago.\n\ndevice that is not clearly marked sata is most probably pata.\n\n[edit]\n\nthe best speed of read and write you will get from sata 2 which is 300 MB/S.\n\nA good solution will be to connect 2 HDD in what is called raid 0 (striping)

IDE And ATA Hard Drives are one in the same, all you have to do is get a second ATA!!! Hard Drive and set the jumper on the back to slave (there are instructions on the box and in the actual HD on how to set the jumper) and plug in the slave section of the IDE cable in the the second HD also, you will need to check your first HD to make sure its set on master, and that your system can run in RAID

hmmm. I dont quite follow that response but it strikes me as fairly well informed..\n\nIf you are attempting to put this in a computer that already works you may need to install specific drivers for the sata connection, if they were not installed by default when you installed the motherboard drivers and such. If you did not have this drive in when you installed windows, it may not have installed the storage drivers...\n\nI was thinking you may need the large drive support drivers but I am not sure. I believe that is over 137 gigs.\n\nbelow is a link to the drivers that may make it work.\n\nex. If I dont have my scsi drivers on a floppy, windows can't see the drive to install it during my windows install. \nBefore you try this I would go to windows update and see it it offers storage drivers as well.\nhope this helps.

Memory and hard drive space are 2 different things.  Memory is the amount of RAM that you have and hard drive space is the amount of storgae that you have.  \n\nI would place the programs on the fastest drive.  This is where you are doing all of the work so you want the best performance.

No, both hard drives are 4.3 GB. Just check for bad clusters (format it) and if they are OK you can use them

SATA is best right now for gaming and speed. A SATA PULL if probably used and means it was pulled from a used PC, but still works.\nIDE is also good and can be fast but is "Kinda" older technology.\nSATA is a small plug on motherboards, and IDE is the big flat one.\nI hope this is simple enough.

SATA :\n====\n1. Cables are very thin with small 7-pin connectors. They can be up to 3 feet (1 meter) in length, and are easily routed to stay out of the way allowing maximum airflow inside the case.\n2. SATA has a far lower power requirement of just 250 mV\n3. SATA does away with Master/Slave configurations and drive jumpers. Setup is greatly simplified, and the technology even allows hot-swapping, meaning drives can be removed or added while the computer is running.\n4. It eliminates the transfer limit hit by ATA. First generation has a maximum transfer rate of 150 MB/ps, and SATA II delivers 300 MB/ps. A version set for 2008 will deliver 600 MB/ps.\n\nATA :\n===\n1. Cables are limited to 18 inches in length often made connections difficult & also clog cases blocking airflow.\n2. ATA’s power requirement : 5-volt\n3. ATA drives hit the maximum parallel transfer rate of 133 MB/ps

SATA II drive will work on SATA I port but it will run the at the speed of SATA I... if i remember it correctly the SATA II speed is 3.0 Gb/s where as SATA I speed is 1.5 Gb/s... So SATA II running on SATA I port will run at 1.5 Gb/s.\nMoreover the other features of SATA II drive like NCQ and so and so will also not work in SATA I port... But it will not cause any trouble.\n\nI m using a SATA II on my SATA I port (865 Chipset Motherboard)

Yes, you will not have to worry about compatibility unless you were to pickup a laptop model instead of a standard desktop hard drive.  I would get a 7200rpm.  Personally I would recommend a Seagate Barracuda as they are known for being fairly quiet.  Save up enough money for the right size hard drive so you don't have to replace it in a year again.

Make sure that you RAID (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_array_of_independent_disks) the hard drives. If you don't you will burn the hard drive very quickly. RAID also increases your speed. Get SCSI drive if you can afford them. SATA drives are ok, don't get IDE.

Are you trying to convert a SATA hard drive into a IDE drive?
