Should be fine mate as long as you enable S-ATA in the BIOS
works fine - in theory (depending on your mobos connections and size of case) you could have 4 SATA hard drives and 2 IDE's...
and not a clue what a 3G drive is.
think you mean 3Gb/s drive - SATA interface speed instead of 1.5Gb/s.
of course the drive mechanics can't provide that but when did that ever matter in marketing ...
3G refers to SATAII.
either that or you have mistakingly put a mobile phone in there somewhere

Wait a minute my case is ringing and my new hard drive seems to have changed my data into something called an "adress book".
SATA II does not mean 3Gb/sOriginally Posted by NightshadowUK

riiiight....um so its best just to save confusion and get an SATA and forget anything about 3g-whatsit...is it mobo dependant? mine said nothing like 3gb/s transfer or anything so getting one wouldn't really help.

Yeah, get a 1.5Gb/s hard drive if your motherboard doesn't mention it.
And well I never, so SATA II hard drives don't REALLY exist!
The correct name to what we all refere to as sata ii is SATA 3Gb/s.
These sata2 (which is how i like to say it) drives should work with sata1 only motherboards.

Works fine for me, I have a SATA hdd for windows/installs, then an IDE one for files.
i could do with a couple of bigger drives, my photoshopping needs a speedy scratch disk, could do with a bit more ram too...

LMAO, ive got images in my head now of a mobile phone sticking out of a 5 1/4 inch bay.Originally Posted by nvening
If I get a Nforce4 Ultra mobo, which supports SATA II and an SATA II drive, will it run at 3Gb or not ?
