homecomputeraid Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Hi Bill,I've only installed SATA drives once. They didn't seem much different from IDE Drives provided you have a SATA controller, which you must if you already have an SATA drive. :)There are SATA controller's which allow you to do things like RAID which are more expensive. I suspect yours does not have such options and will just see the new drive on boot up. Please let us know how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
