hi i just bout a sata hard disk and am gonna by a sata mother board but im wondering do i have to have a sata disk drive or am i allowed a IDE dvd disk drive? because i dont no if they are doing sata dvd drives? THAnks Rob
there are only a few sata dvd disk drives and they're dead expensive but good news (and no i didnt save a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to geico) you dont need a sata disk drive, and ide disk drive for your dvds should be just fine, just get a dvd ide cable instead of the regular ones, works better
dude ur a ledgend! so ur telling me i can have a sata mother board a sata harddisk but i can still have an ide dvd drive and power supply? as in i can have an sata mother board and harddisk and EVERYTHING else can be IDE? Rob
yeah haha, just make sure you have enough slots, should be enough for four devices, and remember to set the dvd drive as master in the jumpers because it requires more power i myself have this configuration we try to be as helpful here as we can, also because theres a helpful points war between some users here, we get points via the "thanks" button
lol dude ill click thanks and thanks again!! well i dnt think ill add a floopy and how cool that a sata motherboard comes with IDE slots thats clever thinking, wat do sata slots look like? (p.s ill clikc thanks to this reply as well lol) Rob
