How do you masterslave SATA?
You cannot master / slave a sata drive. These drives are single channel only.On the motherboard, you will see X amount of connectors. Therefore (2) connectors, is an extra 2 sata drives. Both being masters.
What might the purpose be for a SATA-style power connector on a motherboard?
The SATA connector on a power supply is to supply power to SATA-based hard drives. It is not to be confused with the ATX plug that is to give extra power to the CPU, nor the PCI-e power connectors that give extra power to certain video cards. It is unexpected to find a SATA style connector on the motherboard.
Is an Intel D845GVSR motherboard compatible with SATA hard drives?
Not directly. The D845GVSR has no SATA connectors or controllers. A third-party SATA controller can be added through a PCI slot.
How many SA TA connectors on a motherboard?
This would depend on the motherboard. I have seen older motherboards that were still trying to use IDE as a primary but had 2 or 3 SATA connections. Newer motherboards have primarily SATA connections.
Why does a sata motherboard contain sata connections?
It wouldn't be a SATA motherboard if you couldn't connect SATA drives to it.
Does the motherboard have to be replaced when installing a new hard drive?
No it does not. As long as the motherboard has the proper connectors for the hard drive you are installing, IDE or SATA, you will not have to replace it. If the connectors are different, then return the hard drive and get one with the proper connection type.
How can you make a SATA drive work on a motherboard that only has a PATA connector?
Well... First, you have to plug it in..
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.
Do new hard drives typically attach to the motherboard via an IDE connector?
No, most new hard drives use Serial ATA or SATA connectors.
What are motherboard connector definition?
Motherboard connectors are interfaces on a computer's motherboard that allow for the connection of various components and peripherals. These connectors include power connectors for supplying electricity, data connectors for communication with storage devices (like SATA and M.2), and expansion slots for adding additional hardware (such as graphics cards and sound cards). Each connector type has a specific purpose and design to ensure compatibility and proper functioning of the connected devices.
Can you connect four hard disk in single CPU?
Assuming you mean on an IBM compatible with IDE drives???The ribbon cable should have two connectors on one end and one connector on the other. The single end should be plugged into the motherboard or disk controller. The OTHER end should be plugged in to the two hard drives. MAKE SURE YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THE ORIENTATION OF THE PLUGS!!!The boot disk drive should have the jumpers set to "master", and the second disk drive should be jumpered as "slave". Next, just connect the power to both drives and you're ready to go.UNFORTUNATELY...there are many newer motherboards that only have a single IDE socket. That becomes a problem when you need to connect a CD/DVD. With a single IDE socket you can connect a hard drive and a CD/DVD, but not a second hard drive.You'll need to check your hardware to see what you have.ORIf your computer uses the somewhat newer/faster SATA drive, you should have 2 SATA ports on your motherboard. Plug a cable into each, and a drive into each cable. Note that not all motherboards will have 2 SATA ports, so you may need to purchase a SATA multiplier.
What connector do you use on the motherboard to connect the hard drive I think there are four?
If there are four connectors, then you are probably referring to Serial ATA (SATA). If the connector is a small, L-shaped socket, then you simply need to get a SATA cable. It is a thin flat cable, almost always red with black connectors at the ends. At least one should have came with the motherboard/case/power supply or hard drive. You can usually use any of the plugs on the motherboard, but look for one that says SATA0 (zero) or SATA1. Just start with the lowest number you can find.
