[opensuse] Two types of hdd's...can they be mixed?




Hiya gang,

One of my hdd's has finally croaked (SMART said it was hardware....made all
kinds of wacky noises too).

My main hdd is 80GB and an ide, the new drive is sata 160GB. I got the new
drive to replace my main hdd, so I can move the old main one and make it my
backup drive.

The new hdd is SATA. Will it mess anything up to have an SATA drive and an
ide drive on my system like this?
