Thinking about getting another internal hard drive. Don't know much about them so any recommendations would be nice. My other one is a serial ata, if that helps..Also are they hard to install?
Each serial channel has a number associated with it, so just set the right HD to boot in the BIOS, and you'll be good to go!
easy there is ONLY ONE drive per cable and only ONE connector at each END of the lead
the number of drives supported is controlled my the number of connectors on the motherboard/controller card, current motherboards can have from 2 to 10 SATA connectors and controller cards can have from 2 to 8(mostly 2 or 4) sata connectors
and the master drive is the drive on the lowest number sata port, but the bios can also boot of other drives
harpo
Cool.... thanks guys!
I hooked up hard drive just like the one that came out and it works fine. I was just wondering what the other hookups (on the left side) are for?
What's the model number of your motherboard or can you take a picture and post it?
That is the factory setup/test jumper, it is not used by your computer
And I thought he was talking about the ones on his motherboard.
Good to know, thanks guys..
