SATA vs IDE, Round 8

SATA is the best there is, I have 2 raptor 36 gigs on stripe (raid 0)
and 1gb ram with a 3400+ amd 64-bit... SATA ROCKS IDE's World...
HARD... Reason one... I used to do IDE RAID 0 on two 7200rpm drives
and installed windows xp in around 15 min.... now I use SATA on
stripe and install win xp... from the blue format screen to the click
here to continue dialog in 6 mins :) beat that with IDE... YEAH...
SATA ROCKS... NO GIMMICKS AND NO BS... it will rule IDE and SATA2 is
just another step... the MB comapnies need to devise another layout
strategy in order for us to utilize the possibilities of the SATA or
SATA2 at it's full capacity. Im through and I am back to my
system...:)

It has almost nothing to do with it being SATA and
everything to do with it being a pair of Raptors. It just
happens that the Raptors are SATA interfaced so it's
consequentially important that you be using SATA to get the
desired result.

In other words, take any two average hard drives instead of
the Raptors, and suddenly the main difference in-use
between SATA and PATA is that SATA needs the driver floppy
during Windows' installation.

.... & SATA is not see by DOS too ...

Does MoBo´s CDs coming with it contain Win98se drivers for SATA
interface? I really wonder this ...

Meticulous

FIRST OFF... BUY A SATA AND STFU... SECONDLY... UNDERSTAND THIS... I
RUN AN EMAIL SERVER, IT CLUSTERS MUCH BETTER WITH SATA THAN IDE...
SO UNTIL YOU FIND OUT ABOUT THE POWER BEHIND SATA AND SATA2... YOU
NEED TO OPEN THE WALLET, SHUT THE MOUTH, AND DO SOME "REAL"
STUDYING... THE SATA INTERFACE IS FAST BECAUSE IT RUNS ON THE
"SERIAL" TECHNOLOGY, WHICH IN TURN, ALLOWS YOU TO DO A VARIETY OF
THINGS, NONE OF WHICH I WILL EMBELLISH SINCE YOU ARE CLEARLY
UNEDUCATED ON THE FACTS OF SATA AND HOW THEY AFFECT SYSTEM
PERFORMANCE... THEY HAVE FOR STARTERS A SEEK TIME OF 4.5 MS...
YEAH... FUJI AND SEAGATE HAVE SOME 15K DRIVES THAT THEY RELEASED...
DO THEY RUN ON IDE... NOOOOOOOPE, BECAUSE THEY CLEARLY CAN'T BE
HANDLED WITH AN OLD TECHNOLOGY, IF YOU AREN'T WILLING TO EXPAND YOUR
VIEW, GET OUT OF THE TECH INDUSTRY WHILE YOU STILL CAN. :) AND SAVE
US THE TIME AND IGNORANT EFFORT.

I thought your mom told you not to use the computer for a
month?

I don't know how to break this to you, but email servers got
along just fine prior to SATA. Go figure!
