Hard drives

[Sly]

im buyin a new hard drive and does it matter if i get a serial ata or a ULTRA ATA100? and can i have one of each hard drive?

It depends. If you get SATA, you need to make sure you actually have a SATA port on your motherboard. Only the boards that came out in the last 4-6 months or so even really have them. If you have the available ports, I do believe you can use both SATA and IDE...I'm not really sure.

But, if you are going IDE, I would suggest getting a Western Digital Special Edition drives. Thats all I will run anymore

I'm rather interested in trying out the new Barracuda (SATA) drives...cheaper than SCSI with the same speeds

alrite, i didnt get the SATA cus im to lazy to check my mother board and i doubt that it would be compatible anyways.

to lazy to check out your motherboard!?!? when you instal new equipment inside your pc, you ALWAYS check out your motherboard. its not something you CAN NOT miss doing because you are technically putting things on your motherboard. and besides, all you need to do is open up your pc...

I recommend you get Western Digital. IMO I have had great luck with their drives.
