s-ata hdd + s-ata pcicia cardbus

[bj]

If I insert s-ata pcmcia cardbus interface to notebook's pcmcia
slot,connect s-ata hdd to the s-ata interface and supply s-ata hdd
with electric power. but supplying electric power might be very
difficult job

anyway Can I use the s-ata hdd without any external hdd encloser box
but with all of the benefits like hot swap etc..

If if's and ands, were pots and pans, what would ink be?

So consider the situation seriously.

Why spend money on a Cardbus and Hard Drive, when all you need is a Firewire / USB compatible Hard Drive enclosure and a IDE Hard Drive.

Performance benefit of SATA is lost in the manner you wish to attach.

ALso you risk big damage to PC and HDD is they are not properly shielded and power supply isn't well made.

Usually you MUST connect external power.
PCMCIA power is not enough for big disk drives.

thank you for your reply. but s-ata interface is faster than even 1394b
Then if I use external hdd,I will choose s-ata interface

How do you figure that a 150 MBps SATA interface is faster than a 400 MBps
1394 interface?

I hate when things get all confused because the manufacturer's try to
boost their numbers. Here is what those two mean:

SATA has a max throughput of 150 MegaBytes per second or 1200 Megabits
per second.

FireWire (A) has a max throughput of 50 Megabytes per second or 400
Megabits per second.

FireWire (B) has a max throughput of 100 Megabytes per second or 800
Megabits per second.

FireWire (C) is looking to have a max throuput of 200 MegaBytes per
second or 1600 Megabits per second.

SATA is rated in mega bytes, 1394 is rated in mega bits

It's cool
You know correctly and I also hate their cheat
