would buying an IDE to Sata adaptor mean my drive will transfer the information faster then it would connected to an IDE socket on my mobo?

Kinda... HD's only go so fast anyways. IDE is good for up to 66MB/s, SATA is considerably more. However most 5400/7200 RPM drives would have trouble filling the 66MB/s anyways. SSD's and burst rate (on HDD's) due to cache might be limited.

If you found a better deal on a SATA drive, but only have IDE connectivity, you might as well use it. Theoretically, SATA is tons faster, but actually using those speeds isn't as likely.

Click to expand...

i really dont think thats right i think it can do theorhetical maximum of 133mb/sec but i think alot less than that, maybe around 110-125? i wonder...

Mmm, yeah. I lol'd at myself.

Depends on your ATA setting. 33, 66, 100, or 133.

Sata 1 does 187.5 MB/s
Sata 2 does 375 MB/s
Sata 2 (when released) should do 600 MB/s

Nothing really comes close to Sata 1... except the Intel SSD.


Unless you look at burst speeds, which hardly fill sata 2.
