The power of SATA

(1/1)

Spellshaper:
Yay! Today I bought myself a 250Gb HD with serial ATA interface and shifted my games and music partitions there...

1. the data rate pwnz that of my old IDE HD out of the window O_o
2. Now I have enough disk space to defragment my data... at last, it was getting uber-fragmented :ninja:

and I also got myself a wireless/LAN DSL router... now all my comps have internet and I can throw LAN-parties without having to change a thing!
W00T!!!!!

lol, I can't wait til my new laptop shows up... Tracker says it should be here by the 7th... We shall see...

Spellshaper:
I need a lappy too... Good for school. :)

rivereye:
they are nice to have. I would like to have SATA in my comp, but that would either figuing out which PCI card to remove, or buying a new Mobo, CPU, and RAM.

Spellshaper:
mmm... I 'd go for the latter. PCI cards have a maximum data rate that's comparable to that of IDE HDs... So, speedwise, a SATA PCI extension card does nuthin.

Of course, if you have PCI-E, nvm that above.
