Hi folks
I'm using 160GB IDE as primary and I bought a SATA HDD 500GB(first time going to use sata).I haven't used sata hdd before so i could not understand how to connect to my Intel 965RY Mobo. I tried to find the mobo layout but could not get it.
I had found only data cable which i got it when i bought my mobo two years back but the power conector is different(its a 4 pin type) like we connect to ide ones.do i need any adapter?like in the below url?
SATA 15-Pin Power to 4-Pin Molex Adapter Only $2.88
Also even for connecting data cable anyway as i found both sides of the wire are same!
It would be great if any pictures how are there to connect sata to mobo.
2.I want my ide disk as primary(installed with xp) and this sata as secondary meant for storing data and occasionally for torrent download. Any setting should i have to keep like jumper or is it enough for with bios and how to do?
Also is there any way to sleep this hdd when i use my primary?
3.My Portable drive,transcend case and hitachi 80GB hdd(dont know whether it is ide or sata).At that time(more than 2.5 years) back i had bought it separatelya and shopwalla assembled it before. now the problem is i had observed some noise while reading from it.I felt my hdd days are coming to an end. Is there any way to check the issue before going to for rma?
so if i had rma it and can i use this transcend case for sata hdd also in case?
In the transcend case it was written as"store jet 2.5" IDE. FOR hitachi hdd who is the service center in hyderabad.
please suggest.
Thanks in advance.
