In news:K6omg.198$lv.167@fed1read12 Ed Light typed: My PATA HD and DVD are on the same channel and the HD benches up to its maximum of 40 Mb/S. Device manager lists them at UDMA 133 and 33. Win XP Home. Whether this can happen may depend on the bios. Hi Ed, and what has this to do with the OP's inquery? He can end up in that situation if he does what you lot recommend, buy a PATA drive now and later upgrades to a motherboard which only has a single PATA channel. He asked about SATA! And you and others suggested he should go PATA instead. |
