catgate Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 What does the committee think of the SATA v IDE situation. I am considering putting together another box of nonsense and find that there are a lot of cheap motherboards about now that are on SATA. Is this because the stories about SATA are true and no one wants them, or are they really the HDD of the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 ok ok thats what I was thinking but wheres the sata part come in?I think you will find that SATA is the wicked witch in the opera Navinia written by Oleg Toskovitch. She had a son by the wizard Anglsred, and drowned them both in act three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 You'll wish you'd never asked I thought that if you, as a leading expert in the operatic field, were not going to enlighten our friend, then perhaps I should.I was not going to touch on the rest of the plot, where the woodcutter chops down the tree that was really the father of the bride (on his day off). Nor the part where, just out of spite, Griselda turns into a coach and six horses. Nor even the part where the two cannibals sign a verbal suicide pact and eat each other up.Perhaps you had better finish the tale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cozofdeath Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Information overload! How is it everyone knows this? And the father was a tree on his day off? If I had a day off I wouldn't decide to be a tree, and look what it got him. Seeing that canibal part reminds me of a news story a while back were two people were chatting online about one eating the other and when they met face to face the one that wanted to be ate signed a paper saying he was ok with it, so he drank a bottle of cough medicine, fell asleep and the other person killed him. Then chopped his body up, stored it in his freezer and ate it through out the week while video recording it. Anyone else hear about that? I think it happened somewhere in Germany.

pieman Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Sata has a faster transfer rate over IDE and smaller cords. Thats pretty much it. But I have noticed that my Sata drive runs hotter than my IDE's do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 OK. I don't know if you're question has been answered Catgate so:ATA = IDE and EIDE. ATA means Advanced Technology Attachment. This has been changed to PATA (Parallel ATA) since the introudction of SATA. (Serial ATA)IDE has speeds of ~ 33, 66 and 133 MB/s but these are optimal outputs. Actual numbers depend on DMA, Speed (RPM) and other factors.See here for more information - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Drive_ElectronicsSATA - Has 2 main types. 1 and 3 (or SATA and SATA-II)Sata has speeds of ~ 1.5GB/s and SATA-II has ~ 3.0GB/sSee here for more information - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA---------------------Bottom line, SATA is MUCH faster and provides higher output as well as less clutter. If your computer supports SATA you should use it rather than IDE.Just becauce you had SATA does not mean you have to use a RAID. Sata works just like a regular IDE drive, or in a RAID.

But thanks to the kindly folks on WF I now have a better idea of the direction in which I will stagger when I get moving again on this.
