Re: SATA and IDE Hard Drives

Well today with hdparm I learned what I should have guessed. The difference in data flow is not enough to even think about. I paid $70.00 for my SATA and it is just not what I had hoped for. It is just a newer design of the old IDE and not much faster. I will use it but not for anything but another kind of thing. Maybe F9.

Are your drives and motherboard SATA II capable? If they are, you will see a performance increase over the old PATA(IDE/ATA) drives.
