Questions about IDE connection. NaCl2007-12-14 21:47:13

Is it possible to use one IDE header to connect an IDE hard drive and a DVD drive? If so, who should be the master or slave? What could be the problems if doing so?

I am looking at a new motherboard which has both SATA and IDE connectors. I have an old (but healthy) IDE drive (60 G) and a new SATA drive (500 G). Should I install the system on IDE or SATA? Does it really make a huge difference in terms of performance?

Thanks.

ide跳线只要把master与slave区分来两种都可以，新机器的

盐兄，SATA和ATA的性能不可同日而语....

SATA并不一定比PATA明显快。

my opinion

60G? 就别当硬盘用啦

感谢各位各抒己见，获益匪浅，各位不愧高手之称谓

一快一慢的两个设备挂在同一ATA数据线上，快设备不会因此变慢。
