Its faster
a solid state drive is faster than an sata drive...
Yes. But your computer needs to be properly configured for a SATA optical drive. Also, a SATA drive is better than a IDE drive.
Both are good but the 500 GB is better.
SATA cables are narrower in width. This prevents them from obstructing as much airflow should their width be in the path of circulation.
The Sata II is has a transfer speed that is two times as fast as the original Sata. The Sata has a communication speed of 1.5 Gbit/s while the Sata II is 3.0 Gbit/s.
SATA is the high speed data flow between hard drives and processors. Most new computers use SATA rather than ATA
Sata of course. It is much much better/faster/economical.
Sata drives are usually faster.
Serial port generally refers to Serial ATA port. These Serial ATA ports are better known as "SATA" ports. You will find them on Hard Drives and Solid State Drives specifically. But you may also find them on peripherals such as card readers for Flash media and Optical Drives. SATA is categorized into 3 categories SATA, SATA II and SATA III. The Function of SATA is to transfer data. Previous to SATA, Computers used "IDE" service which was far slower and more expensive to manufacture than SATA.
Yes, SATA II (SATA 3 Gb/s) devices are backward compatible with SATA I (SATA 1.5 Gb/s) interfaces. This means that you can connect a SATA II hard drive or SSD to a SATA I motherboard, but the drive will operate at the lower SATA I speed. However, if you connect a SATA I drive to a SATA II interface, it will run at the SATA I speed as well.
It wouldn't be a SATA motherboard if you couldn't connect SATA drives to it.
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.
