SATA hdd question.

[bellevegasj]

Will a regular SATA motherboard work with a SATA 10,000 rpm hdd? I've seen an ultra SATA. Can anyone tell me what the difference is?

Also, could I run some combo of SATA and IDE hdds at the same time?






Thanks, j

To answer the second part. Yes you can have both running. The SATA drives use their own cables, leaving the standard ATA/IDE slots on the board open.
