I have a question about IDE and SATA interfaces

[Anusha]

Well, some DVD Drives have transfer speeds that exceeds Hard Disks.
But, I'm not sure if they exceed 150MBps.

No way! They max out at around 27000KBps even on 20x drives!!!

It is well worth it! I hate IDE!!! Look at this stupid cable in my PC...(And stupid IDE port placement too...by Asus!!!)



YUUUUKKKKKKKKK!!!!

Note: This is before installing the new 500GB drive...couldn't take a photo after installing it

And in this picture you only have 3 gig of ram

Nice find
Guess I need to get a new photo

Would you believe me if I told you that it took 30 minutes for me to install the new HDD? Those cables had to be untangled, and then hide after installing...Old hard disk had to be moved on slot higher...Stupid cases!!! No room for anything....And that IDE cable disgusted me!!! It's below the SATA ports!!! It's as if Asus is telling me, "Throw that IDE drive out, you moron! We don't want it there!!!"

I wish! It could have been better, had I a better case and a SATA DVDRW!!!
