sata hd is it quicker than ide?

[The Firemaster]

I have 2 sata connectors on the gigabyte mobo ive bought and ive read on a website that the sata drive will rip a dvd 10mins quicker than an ide, is this the case?. If so I will be buying a western digital 8mb cache sata hard drive and this will also free up the ide connections for my writers etc!
all information gratefully received.

You mean an SATA DVD drive? Don't think that any are out yet.

Can't see how having an SATA HD would make much difference in terms of ripping DVD's.. DVDRom should definatly be the bottleneck.

SATA is faster. Not no one can give you a measurment on how much faster it is since there are alot of other varibales to consider (CPU, RAM, etc...)

Though looking at it technically, it is ATA150 while the fastest IDE drive is ATA133.

[Mr Snatcher]

Agreed with both guys. SATA is faster but not by much.

No I meant the sata hd, I think ill go with the sata hd and it will free up the rest of the ide channels for the dvd rom and burners etc, a little bit faster is a little bit better me thinks!

If you run a SATA RAID0 setup, you'll see your system is remarkably faster than if you run PATA HDDs.

sata raid0? how do u do this the giggabyte mobo GA-8IG1000MK has 2 sata connectors on the board, will the bios just detect the sata hard drive or is it a bit more complex?

Iv'e recently changed over from EIDE to SATA and i aint noticed any noticable difference, If fact i'd even say my old SCSI HDD was far quicker than the SATA one.

Do a benchmark.

If you want to spend a bit you might look at the WD Raptors, SATA drives at 10,000 rpm, the new generation are supposed to be pretty good. If you don't like it, you can always send it back :)

You need to be aware that the 150 / 133 is the burst transfer speed the interface is capable of. As most SATA drives use the same heads, platters etc as the pata ones the sustained transfer rate is about the same.

thganks people illhave a look at see what the price difference s on the 10000 rpm satas me thinks!
