Goodevening everyone,
I have now come to a time where i do not have enough IDE slots on my motherboard anymore to have anymore hard drives
So.. its time for a hardware boost
Ok, I want an ATA Controller which can let me have more hard drives. The hard drive i would like to add to this new ATA controller is a Western Digital 120GB 5400RPM which is Ultra ATA/100.
*If you are wondering, yes this does mean this would be my third 120GB hard drive on my computer*
I have found a shop near me website in the UK called Maplin and it has 2 ATA Controllers but at different prices. I was wondering which would be the best option for me in getting a new ATA Controller, either one i dont mind buying. I have the money for buying either.. i just want to make sure i will be gettin a suitable one
The first one i found is here:
ATA/100 £14.99
Its priced at £14.99 and is capable of supporting the hard drive i want to add.. right?
The second one i found is here:
ATA/133 £39.99
So which one is the best to get?
I have also come across with this one:
Ultra ATA 133 PCI RAID £19.99
Is this one better than the other to?
Thank you for all your time and help, i am most greatful
