Mixing SATA and ATA

[xyber]

I've seen in many forums that when people try to use SATA and ATA drives they ran across a problem... I myself is planning to purchase a 73GB raptor and wanted to use my current 80gb maxtor ATA drive as additional storage...

Where the problem is mainly the system would run the SATA (as boot) slower than normal...

Any resolutions to this possible upcomining problem?

Using MSI nforce4 ultra

Thank you
