Can you use an ide hard drive cable on a pata hard drive?

What type of connection is the CD-rom drive using if a CD-rom and a hard drive share the same data cable in a computer system?

Either SCSI or IDE (PATA).

What is another name for a PATA cable?

PATA can be expressed as an IDE or EIDE cable as well.

Can you replace a pata hard drive with an ide hard drive?

Yes because both connectors are same shape and size.

What is the speed of ide drive?

IDE drives commonly use the ATA standard. ATA usually runs at ATA-33, ATA-66, ATA-100, and ATA-133. These run at 33 MB/s, 66 MB/s, 100 MB/s, and 133 MB/s respectively. Most modern IDE hard drives run at ATA-100 or ATA-133 while older If you have your hard drive on a 40-wire PATA cable and/or the PATA cable attached to your hard drive is also attached to your CD-ROM drive, your hard drive might be forced to run at ATA-33. For best performance, only use an 80-wire PATA cable and do not connect your optical drive with it.

What technology provides for up to four devices on a system including hard drive?

IDE (also known as PATA and ATA) provides for up to four devices, including the hard drive. The serial ATA standard allows for more than four drives installed in a system.

What does an IDE do?

An IDE connector is used to connect a CD-ROM drive or hard drive to a motherboard, with a long and flat ribbon cable.

Does the hard drive contain the mother board?

No the hard drive is attached to the motherboard via a IDE/SATA cable

What does an IDE connector do?

An IDE connector is used to connect a CD-ROM drive or hard drive to a motherboard, with a long and flat ribbon cable.

What is PATA Drive?

Parallel ATA (PATA) is an IDE standard for connecting storage devices like hard drives and optical drives to themotherboard. PATA generally refers to the types of cables and connections that follow this standard.It's important to note that the term Parallel ATA used to simply be called ATA. ATA was retroactively renamed to Parallel ATA when the newer Serial ATA (SATA) standard came into being.PATA cables are long, flat cables with 40-pin connectors (in a 20x2 matrix) on either side of the cable. One end plugs into a port on the motherboard, usually labeled IDE, and the other into the back of a storage device like a hard drive.Some PATA cables have an additional connector midway through the cable for connecting yet another storage device.PATA cables come in 40-wire or 80-wire designs. Most modern storage devices require the use of the more capable 80-wire PATA cable to meet certain speed requirements. Both types of PATA cables have 40-pins and look nearly identical so telling them apart can be difficult. Usually though, the connectors on an 80-wire PATA cable will be black, gray and blue while the connectors on a 40-wire cable will only be black.Also Known As: PATANote: Even though PATA and SATA are both IDE standards, PATA (formally ATA) cables and connectors are often referred to simply as IDE cables and connectors. It's not a correct usage but it's very popular nonetheless.Examples:"My motherboard has 4 slots labeled IDE. I used a three-connector PATA cable to connect my hard drive and CD burner to one IDE port and used another PATA cable to connect my backup tape drive to the second IDE port. It's good to know that I have two more IDE ports left on the motherboard for future use if I need them."

If a single hard disk is attached on a primary IDE channel what should the jumper be set to?

master if the ide cable has a single drive connection. if the ide cable has the master and slave connection. then set the drive to master with slave.

Is the SATA hard drive a solid state?

Your question is not correct. Some solid states are SATA, some of them are PATA, and rest is IDE.

What should the primary jumper be set to On a primary IDE channel if a single hard disk is attached?
