Hello all!
I have two 60 gb 7200 WDs
and I'm looking to swapping one of them for a SATA drive when I get my new motherboard.
Since I haven't played w/ the new HD's can someone give me a run down w/ the differences between RAID, serial ATA vs the IDE (besides being faster)
Here's a couple of questions,
SATA converters, what will this do to my 60 gb IDE? if anything at all?
Cache, 2mb/8mb.. what performance gain?
IDE ULTRA ATA133 vs IDE ULTRA ATA100 what performance gain?
best quality AND price brands?
brands I should stay away from?
8.9/9.5/10 ms seek time differences in EIDE?
If anyone could answer one or some of these questions please do so =)
Thanks.
