The price range on a SATA II hard drive would be about $40 for 250 GB drive to $70 for a 500 GB drive by Western Digital. The price will increase with larger sizes.
No. IDE Hard Drive cannot be replaced with a Sata Hard Drive because the connectors are different. example. if you have sata hard drive installed on your machine. and you purchase IDE Hard drive. you won't be able to install the IDE hard drive where the Sata hard drive was because the IDE connectors are a different shape and size towards the Sata hard drive connectors.
A serial hard drive is the same as a SATA hard drive. SATA is Serial ATA, and PATA is Parallel ATA.
Yes it is a sata drive. It is a internal hard.
a solid state drive is faster than an sata drive...
Someone can purchase a SATA hard drive from a number of companies such as Amazon. Amazon has a large selection of SATA hard drives from a number of manufacturers.
sata
This partica\ular hardrive is a SATA model.
You cannot do that. SATA and IDE are not compatible. What you can do is to buy special expension card which can work with SATA drives. For instance, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815124022
a SATA hard drive can be connected to and controlled by a SAS hard drive controller
Sata of course. It is much much better/faster/economical.
Depends on the hard drive capacity. A typical 500GB hard drive can contain a lot of data. The typical user wouldn't fill that much space. Text documents and even pictures barely can make a dent, operating systems (such as windows vista) take about 10 gb. Hard drives have a pretty much unlimited size at this point, you could make a huge one that holds hundreds of terabytes (1000 gigabytes). a standard hard drive is around $100 and would hold between 300 and 500 gb, depending on the manufacturer and the speed of the drive, the faster you go the more expensive.
You should check the exact type of your SATA drives, and what cables they require, on their website: SATA drives come as SATA-1 and SATA-2, and also as E-SATA [external SATA], I believe. The cables may be different, check it out on Wiki or your mfrs site. cheers!
