is SATAII is stable?

Sata2 doesnt exsist. Its now called Sata 3.0.
Make sure your computer supports it, and if so, there is no reason to stick with IDE. Sata drives are just as cheap too.

Although, I have seen some Sata drives with the 4 door option... but only in the 205hp ssrx model. So you might want to wait on that.


Lol jp.

just to make sure, its SATA interface-II, right?

SATA-II Does Not Mean 3.0Gb/s!
The term SATA-II has become a misnomer for the 3Gb/s transfer rate. The term 'SATA-II' is actually the old name of the organization brought together to define the SATA standards. The organization has recently been renamed the SATA-IO.

It is important to note that the specifications outlined by the SATA-IO include both the 1.5Gb/s and 3Gb/s transfer rates as well as the other features available on the various SATA hard drives and controllers. When you are buying SATA equipment please pay close attention to the specifications of the devices you are considering.

SATA was the only official SATA designation... SATA 3Gb/s rates were predicted to come to pass in the next revision of SATA (allegedly surnamed SATAII) if drive manufacturers decided to implement these features in their products. But in reality, SATA 3Gb/s standard was simply a part of the next official revision of SATA, but not all by far...
So it seems that SATA evovled to SATA 3Gb/s to SATA IO...

Oh Hell, they cant make up their mind. They need to start naming Sata like this:

Sata v1 ATA150
Sata v2 ATA150 / ATA 300


That would be simple would it not?

Ya dont worry too much. Good luck.

I have heard that NCQ drives have issues on some motherboards that dont support it. There is or should be, a jumper setting turning that option off.
