I know this is a stupid question and I think the answer is no -BUT since this is the first SATA comp I have ever had I'm not 100% positive. Right now I have one Hitachi 250gb SATA going to the SATA1 and a NEC3500A and a Sam DVD-ROm on IDE. The NEC and Sam are masters on seperate IDE channels.
-Is this the best setup for me?-
-Does the SATA drive use any of the IDE bandwidth on the motherboard?
Last question:
-On the IDE drives, should I use a "Y" (2-device) IDE cable or should I get two seperate cables? I was pretty sure even two drives couldn't fill the pipe on IDE cable but maybe i'm wrong.
Thanks,
