I am looking at the specs. of motherboards and would like to know how I can tell how many hard drives the board supports.
My current PC has 3 hard drives, and I am shopping for a new PC. I would like the new motherboard to support 3 hard drives. Also, I will have a floppy drive and at least 1 CD-ROM drive (burner). All the hard drives are regular hard drives, ie. nothing too fancy (Maxtors I think, not scsi).
Could someone explain what I need to look for?
Here is an example of a board's storage description:
South Bridge:
2 x UltraDMA 100
2 x Serial ATA
Promise 20378 RAID controller (optional):
1 x UltraDMA 133 support two hard drives 2 x Serial ATA RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, Multiple RAID
thanks.
