What is the difference between SATA hard drives and IDE hard drives?
SATA is............. This is one of the latest and popular developments. The high speed serialized AT attachment. Currently SATA offers ransfer speeds of upto 150Mbps. However, this technology can offer upto 600Mbps with further development. The next stage is increasing the speed to 300Mbps.This is a popular term, it really should be called ATA - Advanced Technology Attachment. One of the earliest types. Also known as ATA-1. Data transfer rate of about 8Mbps (8 million bits per second). Basic differences are,1) Speed (150mbps (SATA) vs 100/133mbps (PATA))2) Air flow (large IDE cable vs thin SATA)3) Hot swappable (SATA)4) Newer technology with future speed increases promised.
Transfer files from IDE Hardisk to SATA?
It depends on the hardware you have. if you have only SATA in your computer you can buy an IDE to USB external case then you can install the IDE drive into the case for an extra drive or backup

Can a hard drive from an old computer be added to a new computer?
This depends largely on the type of hard-drive that you are trying to re-use. Commonly, home computers will have hard-drives which connect to the computer motherboard (main-board) in one of two ways: 1. PATA (also ATA or IDE). The connector is a block of 40 vertical metal pins, arranged 2x20. 2. SATA (Serial-ATA) these have a connector about the size of a USB connector, the socket for which which consists of a central plastic ridge which is L shaped. The plug has the same L shape cut into it. Conctact is made between pins inside the plug to strips of copper on the sides of the raised L. SATA drives are more modern and have been steadily replacing PATA drives for several years. The type of drive that you have, as well as the capabilities of your new computer dictate how you can re-use the drive. SATA drives can be connected using a SATA cable to any SATA socket on the motherboard, or on a SATA Controller Card if one is available. PATA drives must be connected to an IDE header on the motherboard using a 40 pin ribbon cable. In either case, ensure that the socket number (e.g. SATA-1) printed on the motherboard next to the socket is higher than the one used for your new computer's main (already existing) hard-drive. The reason for this is that the computer will most often boot from the first bootable hard-drive it can find. If your old drive still has your operating system (e.g. Windows, Linux) installed on it, then the computer may end up booting that if you connect it into a lower-numbered socket. If this is/will be the only drive in the computer, it does not matter which socket is used. Bear in mind also that many IDE (PATA) cables have two connectors on the 'disk' end, which allows two devices to be connected to the computer with the same cable. If only one device is being used, it is important to use the connector nearest to the 'motherboard end'. The motherboard end is the end furthest away from the other two connectors. It is labelled X in the following illustration: X-----------1-----2. 1 and 2 indicate connectors IDE disks may be connected to. SATA cables connect only one device to the computer so this restriction does not apply. Finally, if this device will be the second device on a PATA/IDE channel (i.e, disks are being connected to both connectors 1 and 2 in the cable illustration above), then it is important that the jumper settings on both are correctly set. Jumpers are rows of two pins which look like this [::::]. Small caps called jumper caps or jumper switches are connected across two pins like this: [(:):::] to tell the disk which configuration it should expect. The disk at connector 1 must be set to "Primary" or "Master" or "Single", the disk at two should be set to "Secondary" or "Slave". Most hard-disks have a sticker somewhere on them, or labels on the circuit board, which indicates which pair of pins to bridge to achieve the desired role. -x- If your computer does not have the appropriate connector available on its motherboard, you will need to purchase a PCI-slot card. Most motherboards have at least one PATA connector on them, and all new motherboards provide several SATA connectors. SATA expansion cards (aka SATA controller cards) can be purchased from almost all computer hardware shops, as well as eBay, internet shops and so on. PATA cards are also available, although it is unlikely that you will need one unless you have used all of the existing connectors on the motherboard. If this is the case, it may be possible to re-arrange the drives, placing two on each IDE connector, to save connector space. -x- If this works successfully then your computer will boot from its existing hard disk OR if the one you just installed is the only one, will boot from that (assuming it has an operating system installed on it) In Windows, your new hard disk will be available under "My Computer" OR if it is the first, you will know it works because the system booted. Chances are the drive letter of the newly added disk will be D:, E:, F: or G:, depending on the number of pre-existing hard-drives and optical drives.
Is it hard to install a WD5000AAKS 500 GB Internal SATA Hard Drive?
No, the WD5000AAKS 500 GB Internal SATA Hard Drive installs in just moments, provided that your system is currently SATA. You'll simply need to power off the computer, open the case, and then move the SATA harness from one drive to the other, it's that simple. If you're not comfortable working with electronics, however, seek help from a professional.

How do I know whether my computer works with SATA or IDE hard drives?
Open the case and look at the hard disk drive. If it is connected with the gray (typically) 40 pin ribbon cable, it's IDE, if it uses the MUCH smaller SATA cable you'll be able to tell the difference.
Can you plug sata discs into sata 2 connectors on motherboard?
Yes. You can add as many hard drives, or other sata devices (DVD burners etc) as will fit into your case, or until you have no more sata connectors free.
Where is the IDE hard drive stored?
The IDE hard drive is stored in the hard-drive bay of a computer case by screwing it on. This bay also houses SATA and other types of hard drives.
Can you install an operating system to an external hard drive and install it internally afterward?
yes you can and i know because i did it this will only work if your computer supports SATA drives 1. buy a vantec external hard drive 2. use the SATA plug that comes with it to plug it in 3. restart your computer to enter the setup 4. install onto your hard drive CAUTION make sure you dont overwrite your computer hard drive then your done you can then remove the HD from the case with a screwdriver and install it into your computer
Is a sata cable a ribbon cable?
No. Ribbon cables are flat and wide. The SATA cable was designed to be narrow and slightly thicker, so it would not block as much air flow in the case.
