The Intel chipset system uses which device to control the transfer of data into and out of the SATA ports?
The ICH
What is the transfer speed for SATA 2?
How fast can a SATA drive transfer data?
What happens when a second sata 3.0 device is add to a to sata cable that already contains a sata 1.5 device?
You cant connect two devices to the same sata cable.
What transfer rates are used by sata drives?
Theoretical maximum throughput: SATA II: 3Gb per second. SATA III: 6Gb per second. The maximum uncoded transfer rates are 2.4 Gb per second and 4.8Gb per second, respectively.
What cause computer to say no sata dectected?
if there is no sata (serial ATA) device connected, this could be a hard drive, or cd drive etc,
What is an ATAPI that uses a narrow more reliable cable?
That sounds like a SATA device. SATA cables only use 6-7 wires. ATAPI is the standard for devices other than hard drives that also use the ATA command set and signals. Nearly all DVD burners, like most internal hard drives, use SATA these days. There is also SCSI Attached Storage (SAS), and it uses SATA cables and is electrically compatible with SATA, though with a different command set. There is no SAS DVD burner yet, but that is okay, since SATA devices will work with an SAS controller. The compatibility is only one way, meaning that while SATA devices work on SAS controllers, you cannot install a SAS drive with a SATA-only port.
Does an hp pavilion xt926 have an SATA port?
No, it does not. It only has 2 IDE Ports. But you could buy a PCI Card with SATA ports.
What is the most common cable used today for connecting a hard drive to the motherboard?
There are different interfaces of which hard drives can be connected to the motherboard of computers. ATA- More commonly ATA-133, the newest version not compatible with ATA-100(phased out) Typically this setup uses a Ribbon cable, however there are "Round" cables that have been made to reduce the turbulence and promote airflow inside the cases. These drives typically do not spin faster than 7,200 RPMS. SATA- Serial ATA, uses a thin small cable, typically red. This is the first version, and finding hardware that SATA I is difficult. these drives typicall do not spin faster than 7,200 RPMS SATA II - AKA SATA 3.0 GB, Uses an identical cable, but transfers data much more quickly. Most hard drives and computer accessories that use SATA are SATA II. Typically SATA II is backwards compatible with SATA I. These drives are currently capable of spinning to a maximum of 10,000 RPMS SATA III - AKA SATA 6GB/s, use a similar cable but transfers data at twice the rate of SATA II and four times the rate of SATA (first version). SATA III is also backwards compatible. In order to take full advantage of the SATA III technology it is necessary to have a SATA III motherboard, cable and HDD. SCSI- Pronounced "SKUZZY" a high speed interface typically only used on High end workstations and servers. Has high bandwidth and uses ribbon cables similar in look to ATA, but has more pins and a different connector. Older versions for SCSI required "terminators" on the empty connectors however they are becomming less prevalent and are typically not used on the current SCSI 320 Format. These drives are typically the most expensive and rotate the fastest typically 15,000 RPM's
What's the difference between IDE and SATA hard drives?
The simple answer? Not much. The truth is SATA and IDE devices use mostly the same components and logic. The biggest difference is the interface: the IDE standard uses ribbon cables with flat, wide connectors that allow more than one drive (a "master" and a "slave") to be connected at the same time. The SATA standard uses a smaller connector with a more narrow cable that allows only one device per channel (read "plug"). SATA will, however, perform better in RAID applications. As IDE is an aging technology, it is wise to buy SATA devices for most future purchases.
Which computer BUS allows only one device per controller?
SATA
What is a sata power connector?
A SATA power connector is what connects the SATA device to the PSU (power supply unit), therefore giving it a source of power. There is another cable that connects to the motherboard but that is just for data transfer.
What is a Good computer CD drive?
There are two types of cd/dvd drive available. Sata and Pata. Sata uses a small sata cable whereas pata uses an older ribbon style IDE cable. Sata is the best of these two but not all computer support sata, in those cases ide will do. As far as brand goes there is not much difference but the Pioneer, LG and Liteon drives tend to be reliable.
