No (EIDE only)
It depends on a motherboard. You can have 2 of them or all 6 of them Maybe there are motherboards with more than 6 ports but they are expensive. I need the location of SATA connections fopr a Dimension 4300 motherboard; hopely with a location graphic.
Not directly. The D845GVSR has no SATA connectors or controllers. A third-party SATA controller can be added through a PCI slot.
It wouldn't be a SATA motherboard if you couldn't connect SATA drives to it.
SATA, or serial advanced technology attachment, connects the motherboard to hard drives and optical drives. This cable is inserted into the SATA slot on the motherboard.
Not necessarily. "ATA-150" is SATA. If your motherboard has an IDE controller, the disk will work. If the board has only SATA, you will not be able to connect the drive without an adapter.
If you plug a SATA 3.0 drive into a SATA 1.5 port on your motherboard, the drive should be able to function at a 1.5Gb/s transfer rate. Some drives require a jumper setting, while others natively recognize their allocated bandwidth and adjust accordingly.
Yes, you can it's backward compatible.
Yes, SATA is used to connect the hard drives to the motherboard.
SATA cables.
A sata cable connects a motherboard to a Sata hard drive. Modern power supplies have special chords made to power Sata hard drives where as old ones do not. Older computers have Eide cables to connect the motherboard to the hard drive.
Most likely it's 2 SATA 2 ports.
SATA 3 is backwards compatible, it means you connect it the same way as SATA 1.
