What else can I help you with?
How many hard drive can you connect on a motherboard with 4 sata and 1 ide controller?
To the IDE cable, 2 Hard disks can be connected as Master and Slave.(Hard disks that support IDE). 4 SATA ports could be used for 4 Hard Disks.
If a single hard disk is attached on a primary IDE channel what should the jumper be set to?
master if the ide cable has a single drive connection. if the ide cable has the master and slave connection. then set the drive to master with slave.
What should the primary jumper be set to On a primary IDE channel if a single hard disk is attached?
master if the ide cable has a single drive connection. if the ide cable has the master and slave connection. then set the drive to master with slave.
Maximum Hdd's on motherboard with 4 SATA and IDE controler?
You can only have 1 Sata HDD per Sata connector, however on IDE you can have 2 IDE, 1 set to master the other to Slave or if supported both set to CSS (Cable Select). So you can have 4 Sata HDD and 2 IDE HDD per IDE channel. One thing you need to be aware of is your Power Supply. Make sure it is capable of handling such a load or you will get write errors on the Drives. Hope that helps.
What is the difference between master IDE and slave IDE?
Each IDE slot can handle two drives. One drive will be the master and the other will be the slave depending o the configuration. If the jumpers of one drive is configured to set the drive as MA (Master), the second must be configured to SL (Slave). Both drives may be configured as CS (Cable Select), if so, The positioning on the ribbon cable will determine whic one is the master and which is the slave
Sata drives can a optical drive be master when its a ide?
An IDE Drive is not the same as a SATA drive, for starters. If you want your optical drive to be the master on an IDE channel you can jumper it to make it such. The second drive on the IDE channel must then be jumpered as a slave. If the optical drive is the only drive on the channel then it ought to be jumpered as the master. Alternatively, you may be able to set both drives to "Cable Select" and let the cable position determine the priority. This presumes that your ribbon cable is of a newer design and supports this option.
When installing an IDE hard drive's configuration a master or slave is handled?
the hard drive should be set to master...
What are the four possible configurations for four IDE devices in a system?
Primary IDE Channel , Master Device Primary IDE Channel , Slave Device Secondary IDE Channel , Master Device Secondary IDE Channel , Slave Device
Ide hard drive can be slave with sata hard drive?
No Master Slave designation needed. SATA Drives are plug-add-play. Improve: SATA (Serial) Attached Drives improve data tansfer speeds up to 10-100 GBytes/per. eSATA are (Externally) Serial-Attached Drives and SATA-II(Sata-2) Drives transfer data @ 300GBytes/per. The next barrier of TerraByte data transfer has been developed and is already in production with a (SATA-3) designation attached
Two western digital hard drives one IDE and other is on Sata cable The Sate is Master but can not get the IDE WD to work or reconize?
Western digital needs to have no jumper to be by itself on a cable, or bios sometimes shares the sata as ide0 and so change your sata port and enable one as ide and the other channel as sata.
What type of drive uses master and slave connections?
The type of drive that uses master and slave connections is the IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drive, also known as PATA (Parallel ATA). In this configuration, two drives can be connected to a single IDE channel, with one designated as the "master" and the other as the "slave." This setup allows for efficient data transfer between the drives and the motherboard. However, this technology has largely been replaced by SATA (Serial ATA) drives, which do not use the master/slave configuration.
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.
