I ordered a 500GB drive for my computer upstairs to re-do it.
it was suppose to be a SATA drive, but it came as a PATA/100.
will that work with either SATA or ATA (IDE)?

I guess they make 250GB versions... hm...

I guess PATA/100 is IDE. I didn't know that.
guess the S/P is the way the data is accessed...
but Parallel is faster than Serial in theory, but not in practice I guess.

so are you gonna return it?

yup, PATA, ATA/100/133, & IDE = all the same.



toggletoggle post by menstrual_sweatpants_disco   at Dec 25,2007 2:20pm
it's not common to see IDE in a desktop now the same way it's not common to see SCSI in a server. Everything's SATA and SAS now.

have you seen a sata lappy drive? it's the same exact interface as a large sata drive. I want to try hooking up a 1tb desktop drive to a lappy now.



toggletoggle post by sxealex   at Dec 25,2007 2:29pm
what are you gonna duct tape it to the bottom?



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Dec 25,2007 2:31pm
you don't remember like 5 years ago when desknotes were all the rage?

The crazy thing is that most 1 or 2U pizzabox rack servers you buy now will have 2.5" SAS drives in them. crazyness! SAS interfaces will also take SATA drives too though, which is cool. SATA interfaces will not take SAS though.

that last bit is not too cool



toggletoggle post by sxealex   at Dec 25,2007 2:42pm
for you.

I don't have any servers that I deal with hardwarewise. servers are using more and more laptop parts at my work.
