Re: Ide HDD to sata
Abit do exactly what you wanted, a Serializer 2, small unit that plugs into and IDE devicealowing it to connect to a SATA port. Everyone is right though when they say you won't see and performance gains but you hardly will with a SATA hard disk anyway. Nearly all current models are just standards drives with an additional parallel converter chip on them that allows them to take serial data. The Abit thing just does this in reverse. If you want to see a preformance gain go for a SATA drive with 10000rpm spindle speed or 16Mb cache. Hopefully SATA2 drives will be true SATA drives and not just conversions.
