| Are 2,5" Serial-ATA (SATA) hard discs downwards compatible with (simple) IDE/ATA ? Assume I have a notebook resp. an external hard disc device with (possibly) an 2,5" IDE/ATA only hard disc inside. Can I replace this old IDE/ATA hard disc with a new 2,5" Serial-ATA (SATA) hard disc ? Ok, if the hardware environment does not support Serial-ATA features the SerialATA hard disc slows down to the ATA-only speed. But I need to be sure that it is working at all. Or are ATA and Serial-ATA hard discs totally incompatibe ? Oliver      |

Fixed improper use of "Follow-Up" so that people could properly reply/follow the thread/replies. -- spam999free@rrohio.com remove 999 in order to email me |
