Hiya gang,
One of my hdd's has finally croaked (SMART said it was hardware....made all kinds of wacky noises too).
My main hdd is 80GB and an ide, the new drive is sata 160GB. I got the new drive to replace my main hdd, so I can move the old main one and make it my backup drive.
The new hdd is SATA. Will it mess anything up to have an SATA drive and an ide drive on my system like this?
No. Drivers are assigned and used on a disk by disk basis, not on a system-wide basis. I have a tower which has had as many as 5 different types of disks in it. Single ended SCSI CD Low Voltage Differential SCSI Hard disks ATAPI CD/DVD IDE hard disks SATA hard disks. Every disk performed exactly as you would expect it to do so. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
