Im toying with the idea, Im trying to find the information I need to understand if what I want to do is possible, couldnt find it, I know yall are the best, so here i am.

If I have a mobo without SATA connecters and a Drive without SATA can I use a ATA to SATA converter on both sides so I can use the small cable?
 
abit has it
it's marketed as seriellel ata
but i don't see any reason to get serial ata now
i would rather wait till Q2 when southbridges incoporate serial ata
that makes it free from the pci bus

besides,having a serial ata converter does not show the true potential of the serial ata standard

i agree with lonyo too
just get a rounded cable
 
Soyo and a couple of other Co.'s have released these adapters for $30-40. They will only get cheaper and there is no realtime performance gain due to bottleneck. The only reason i can see using them is for RAID off some of the MoBo's that don't have IDE capabilities.
 
why would you need convertors on both ends? that'd be rather pointless.

but as the folks have stated, $40 a pop per convertor? no thank you. Asus really should have given us one in the deluxe board.... i only need it so I wouldn't have to use an ata card. Oh well. Maybe if i have money, i'll hack the ata to raid, and do two raids in the system 🙂
