| 804152 | 2009-08-25 08:59:00 | I just brought a new 1tb Seagate HDD and it has a SATA cable but my motherboard doesnt support it. Would it be better for me to buy a SATA to ide converter or a PCI card with two SATA inputs on it?? www.jaycar.co.nz or www.jaycar.co.nz |

| 804153 | 2009-08-25 09:03:00 | In my opinion it would be best to buy a pci card. Might be better to get it from PB tech in glenfield seeing as you want to go to jaycar it is quite close. | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 804154 | 2009-08-25 09:04:00 | Do you mean the mobo doesnt have a sata connection. Or the mobo doesnt support SATA 2? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 804155 | 2009-08-25 09:09:00 | or his mobo just doesnt support sata like he said, ie no sata at all | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 804156 | 2009-08-25 09:10:00 | So whats the point in getting one, if you dont have the connection | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 804157 | 2009-08-25 09:10:00 | Na i don't think so. My motherboard only has the old IDE imputs. My mobo is a 36 ASUS P4S333-M | mitchd100 (15190) | ||
| 804158 | 2009-08-25 09:12:00 | yep so the converter is supposed to allow sata usage? | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 804159 | 2009-08-25 09:13:00 | Yup its only IDE. You'll have to buy a PCI card or a new mobo and everything else | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 804160 | 2009-08-25 09:14:00 | So the converter won't work??? | mitchd100 (15190) | ||
| 804161 | 2009-08-25 09:15:00 | he might mean that he does not have any sata speedy | nedkelly (9059) | ||
