IDE and SATA

911aaron · 05-11-2008, 08:45 AM

If my Hard Drive used a SATA and my DVD burner used an IDE, would it work properly together?

Yes, you would have no problems.

yeah that is how mine is configured

the only conflict you'll have is if you're using a 40 pin ide cable (non dma mode) and trying to burn at high speeds.

You should try and get a SATA hard-drive.

Is that the only reason why I should try to get a SATA hard-drive?

sata hard drives are faster, and the cords went from monstrous to teeny tiny. smaller then the power cord.
