How good are SATA drives compared to IDE drives?
I would like to try a Western Digital Raptor WD360GD 36.7GB drive but
would like to know if they are better than the IDE drive I am using. My mobo supports SATA (ASUS A7N8X Deluxe ACPI BIOS Rev 1007) and has a primary SATA and secondary SATA. What is the better usage for a SATA drive (i.e. for OS or data)? Can a Primary SATA be drive "C:\"? Can I configure my mobo so that the raptor will be the primary drive over the primary IDE If I use it for my operating system or is it better to use a SATA Raptor as a logical drive for data storage? TIA. |
