IDE? SATA?

[bound4h]

I was wondering what the difference between IDE, SATA, SCSI, and SCA is. I have a WD 120GB IDE Drive and I want use RAID. Do I need another IDE drive? SCSI? Also, how might I go about doing this. My motherboard supports and has a Promise FastTrack controller, whatever that is. I have cable as well, I believe.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Most PC makers use ATA based H.D.D.'s that use the IDE bus. SATA is like ATA but is SerialATA and uses a faster 150mb/sec transfer rate than ATA that can use 66/100/133 mb/s transfer rate. SCSI is a very fast high preformance workstation or server based Hard drive that is made for speed and reliability. new SCSI's may use 12,000rpm or 15,000rpm speeds compaired to ATA drives that spin at 7,200rpm or SATA that go up to 10,000rpm

Your motherboard is most likley made for ATA based H.D.D's. If you want to do RAID do RAID 0 and you need two drives of the same capacity (two 120gb WD's) also by the exact drives if you can, this makes it eaiser to setup.

please send me more info on your system setup.
