The first option is to replace the SATA hard drive that is inside a desktop PC or laptop. The second option is to use an external hard drive. No matter which choice is selected, the most important feature is the total memory capacity. Both type of hard drives usually have enough space for at least several hundred Gigabytes (GB.) Several Terabytes (TB) is typically the limit of most modern hard drives. Installing a SATA hard drive is more difficult than plugging in an external USB hard drive. The SATA type requires some manipulation of the power cables connected to the motherboard and computer's power supply.
What else can I help you with?
Just replaced a defective secondary 160gb sata hard drive with a 200gb sata hard drive the new hard drive is not functioning I used the new cables that came with the one what is the problem?
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!

What is the difference between Sata and ESata?
SATA and eSATA are electonically the same, but the construction of the cables and the terminals is different. The major difference between the two is that SATA is designed for use inside a computer system while eSATA is for use externally.
Are external hard drives slower than internal ones?
If you're comparing two identical hard drives then it's going to work faster if it's more closely connected to the motherboard.After that it all depends on exactly what you're comparing.Modern interfaces like External Sata and External Sata II have plenty of bandwidth to connect a very fast hard drive to your computer with speed similar to those inside the computer
What does a SATA cable do?
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.
What interface is primarily used for internal hard drives in modern PC systems?
There are many different interfaces used. For internal hard drives, older drives use/used PATA (Parallel ATA, originally just called ATA, and commonly referred to as IDE). Newer drives generally use SATA (Serial ATA). For external drives, connections include USB (1.0, 2.0, and 3.0), eSata, and Firewire (IEEE 1394).
What are types of disk drives?
IDE hard disk, SCSI hard disk, SATA hard disk, External hard disk, it is also differ by RPM speed for the HADD. I hope that helpes.
How do you install two hard drives with only one SATA port?
use a different harddrive not using SATA such as an external USB or IEE1394 or SCSI or replace your motherboard with one with more SATA ports (4 ports is standard minimum)
