Legacy IDE vs. Native IDE
Last response: in Storage
I'm wondering what the difference is here. I can set my SATA ports to operate as Legacy IDE, or Native IDE. I know for sure I don't need RAID (1 hard drive), and I don't want to use AHCI either. So that leaves legacy IDE or native IDE.
The only thing is I don't know the difference, I've searched forums and even google but I'm having trouble finding a definitive answer. I'm running Windows Vista 32-bit.
Any advice?

Enabled Allows the SATA controllers to operate in Native IDE mode.
Enable Native IDE mode if you wish to install operating systems that support
Native mode, e.g. Windows XP/2000.
