okay, so I just upgraded my computer. and i'm still running old IDE as a windows drive. and I'm giving my old PC to my uncle and will be passing that drive to him as well. however, I have 1 SATA drive for backup storage.
are SATA drives good for bootups? reason why I ask is because back when I built my PC, around 2003, SATA was difficult to set up to boot up with. you had to do some special tunning or something. is it still hard nowadays?
also, i looked around and there is so many different SATA drives. there is 1.5gb/s, 3.0, 6.0.. does it really make that big difference? there is also SAS 3gb/s? wth is that? there is also "ultra" types. man.. i'm so behind technology. but anyway, let me know if you guys can help me out cuz i'm looking to get a new drive possibly 200 or 250 gb just to boot and backup. thanks!
