Can you use an ide hard drive cable on a pata hard drive?
yes. pata and ide are the same thing.
What technology provides for up to four devices on a system including hard drive?
IDE (also known as PATA and ATA) provides for up to four devices, including the hard drive. The serial ATA standard allows for more than four drives installed in a system.
Can you replace eide hard drive with a sata hard drive?
No. IDE Hard Drive cannot be replaced with a Sata Hard Drive because the connectors are different. example. if you have sata hard drive installed on your machine. and you purchase IDE Hard drive. you won't be able to install the IDE hard drive where the Sata hard drive was because the IDE connectors are a different shape and size towards the Sata hard drive connectors.
Is the SATA hard drive a solid state?
Your question is not correct. Some solid states are SATA, some of them are PATA, and rest is IDE.
What is the largest IDE hard drive for Intel D875PBZ motherboard?
The D875PBZ is fully LBA48 compliant, and supports both PATA and SATA drives. You can use the largest size hard drive available for either connection (probably 750 GB for PATA, 1.5 TB for SATA).
What type of connection is the CD-rom drive using if a CD-rom and a hard drive share the same data cable in a computer system?
Either SCSI or IDE (PATA).
What is the speed of ide drive?
IDE drives commonly use the ATA standard. ATA usually runs at ATA-33, ATA-66, ATA-100, and ATA-133. These run at 33 MB/s, 66 MB/s, 100 MB/s, and 133 MB/s respectively. Most modern IDE hard drives run at ATA-100 or ATA-133 while older If you have your hard drive on a 40-wire PATA cable and/or the PATA cable attached to your hard drive is also attached to your CD-ROM drive, your hard drive might be forced to run at ATA-33. For best performance, only use an 80-wire PATA cable and do not connect your optical drive with it.
What standard is also called parallel ata?
Parallel ATA (sometimes called PATA) is synonymous with IDE or EIDE (Integrated Drive Electronics or Enhance Integrated Drive Electronics). IDE was the first technology to include the controller and hard drive in the same housing; previously with SCSI, MFM and RLL drives, the drive and the controller were separate.
What does IDE mean in computer terms?
Integrated Drive Electronics
What are the advantages of an IDE hard drive?
The only advantage of using a IDE hard drive is maximum compatibility. It appears that SATA hard drives have a lot more advantages than an IDE hard drive.
What is the difference between PATA and IDE?
Not much. Different name mostly.
Does the motherboard determine what hard drive to install?
To some extent yes, the motherboard does indeed determine what kind of hard drive to install. Most modern motherboards will have SATA ports for the hard drives. The SATA ports are small in size and are usually labeled as SATA1-SATA4 or however many the motherboard has. You can read it right on the board. Older motherboards, however, used to use PATA or IDE hard drives (PATA & IDE are the same thing but with two different names). An IDE port on a motherboard is about 3-4 times the size of a SATA port. The really old boards may not have the IDE port labeled, but most other motherboards will have the letters IDE (or PATA) written next to the IDE port. If you're referring to a motherboard from the last 5-7 years, the chances are that it has SATA ports. The best thing to do is to look at the motherboard.
