Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to read this message.
I have recently built a system using an Asus P4C800-E Deluxe mobo.
A few years ago a 20 GIG HDD was decent but now with the much larger HDD's it is concidered pretty small.
I am thinking of purchasing a 160 ~ 200 GB SATA HDD.
I am currently using the 20 GIG "IDE" HDD .
Could one of you "Pro's" tell me:
(1) If I purchase a SATA can I still use the 20 GB IDE HDD ?
(2) Are there any programs out there that I can transfer all the contents of the 20 GB IDE HDD to the SATA HDD ?
(3) Will I be creating a headache for myself setting up the SATA HDD ?
(4) Will the SATA make a noticable difference ?
Any information will be appreciated.
I am new to the world of SATA.
Thank you.
Rick M.
