Default

Sata = a lot faster - best way to go for hard drives

IDE = slower... good for DVD and CD drives

My mobo has 2 SATA ports and 1 IDE

But if you need more go and buy a PCI card like many people say.

But not with newer technology SATA is the way to go and i also hear that they are coming up with PATA......???
