SATA hard Drive

Stacksey · 2006-04-26 09:15:27

I have a penitum 4 motherboard (chipset 845) 1.7Ghz 400Mhz FSB and want to attach a serial hard drive, is it as simple as just installing a PCI Serial Controller and attaching the hard drive, making it the primary partition and installing the OS

Yes - though keep in mind you are bound by the PCI bus which will inhibit the performance of the HD.

A HD on your IDE controller would be better suited if performance is a concern.
