Solve : SATA and PATA? |
|
Answer» HI, I want to upgrade my motherboard and go for dual core CPU. I have TWO 300G HDs and two DVD burners connected to two IDE headers on my current motherboard, I don't want to give them up. Here are two questions: Most newer mobos I looked at has only one IDE header, so I guess I will have to get a IDE to PCI card so that I can connect the DVD burners to it, That should work fine right? At some point in the near FUTURE, I would like to setup a RAID 1 on the new mobo, would the SATA and the PATA drives co-exist peacefully? Thanks. B.PCI expansion card for IDE should work. You might have to install drivers if the BIOS setup of the CMOS chip of the mobo does not recognize the optical drives that are connected this way. I would not TRY RAID with different HDD TYPES. Use two SATA drives instead. SATA and PATA might work well without using RAID. |
