If i enjoy an old system, e.g. a system next to one of the first celeron processors, would an ATA hard drive work on it? or do i have need of to specifically look for a drive that says IDE? or is IDE duplicate as ATA? Confused?
ATA and IDE?
ATA is the type of communication protocol used. The most common caring of ATA is PATA (Parallel ATA) also known as IDE. The first Pentium processor from Intel have a motherboard that supported IDE hard drives. So yes, it will work fine.
The newer nice is called SATA (Serial ATA). Your motherboard must support it, or you will obligation a PCI add-in card to use the new interface.
I suggest you pop in http://www.pcguide.com or http://www.wikipedia.org to find out more. If you go to Wikipedia, simply rummage on ATA, PATA, SATA, IDE, etc...
Sort of. You've got PATA and SATA. You'll hold a PATA system, which uses an IDE connection.
