Sir Roxysnonie, caution on using 1 SATA HD.

I have experimented with 1 WD120GB SATA. During start-up, the SATA driver must be loaded before the system can load the OS.

The problem is that the scandisk program is frequently executed even if you

have a normal/safe shutdown. Remember that these programs are in the SATA HDD. After several start-ups and scandisks, the SATA driver will not load and you will see the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH requiring you to restart the PC again.

You restart again and again until you go crazy (I tried to upgrade the

bios and sata driver but still no effect). To fix this is only to reinstall your OS which means reformating your HD again (you will not be given a choice to overwrite the previous installation). You can try the FIX option during OS reinstallation but it wont do you no good since the SATA HD can not be accessed. Fed up, I bought a 40GB ATA133 HD, installed the OS and my problem's gone. My SATA is now a back-up HD with all my programs and working files (except the OS) installed. I have not yet tried experimenting on 2 SATA HD (Raid 0 or 1 configuration) without an IDE HD (I will when funds are available) and have a little experience in SCSI HDs so I don't know if it also has this booting problem.

 

For now, SATA HDs performance is slightly higher or almost insignificant compared

to the ATA133 (JBOD config?). Maybe in RAID 0 or 0,1 configuration will there be a

significant comparison between the two (I have not yet found any articles about RAID comparison between SATA and ATA133).
