IDE ATA100 HD compatible with ATA133 Controller?
Hello!
I recently read a thread here that asked if an ATA133 drive would work on an ATA100 controller...
And I have the exact opposite question. Will an ATA100 hard drive work on an ATA133 controller? I desperately need a new system and the motherboard I'm thinking about buying only has one ATA100 controller, but it has two ATA133 controllers. If I had, for example, three ATA100 drives, I would have to put at least one of them on the ATA133 controller.
(I tried to add a link to show you all some pictures of my poor laptop that is falling apart, but I think it wont let me... but I definitely need a new system)
So as I start to buy parts for a new system, I may refer back to this forum. You guys seem to be pretty friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks!
