SATA or ATA133 HD?
Hi there guys.

Just a few questions:
  1. Is a SATA HD much faster than a ATA133 HD?
  2. Can the two co-exist on one system?
  3. What are the benefits of SATA over ATA133?

SATA is theoretically but not yet actually faster. It coexists happily with PATA (I have 2 PATA and 2 SATA running together). It uses a thinner (7 connectors rather than 40) and potentially longer (up to a metre) cable - easier to route and much less disruptive to airflow through the machine. It's the future.

Definately better airflow with SATA --- plus much easier to put multiple hard drives in one machine (Ive got 5 in this machine) No need for that horrid Ultra ATA PCI card anymore as I always felt that was a huge bottle-neck in the machine.

I moved my machine over to a SATA main hard drive for my O/S from IDE and I can honestly say it seems to of made a slight improvement in the overall system performance.

i was going to say, I have both in my system at work and can't tell a speed difference, but that has already been mentioned.

I have a 250 GB Maxtor SATA and a 200 GB SATA Seagate, plus 2 IDE HD's in this machine. The Maxtor runs at 50C all the time, even at rest, while the Seagate and the other two run at 39-40. I get nervous when temps run high.

I've taken the Maxtor out and plug it back in when I need extra strorage. I've acquired a really nicely built Acomdata external USB 250 IDE drive with an exhaust fan to solve this stupid problem! The 4 hd's when all installed in the Antec case sit horizontally with equal spacing and ventillation.

Never saw any problems of coexistence except with DOS based utilities.
