A typical SATA hard drive operates at speeds of 5400 to 7200 RPM (revolutions per minute), which translates to data transfer rates ranging from approximately 150 MB/s to 600 MB/s. The most common type, SATA III, has a maximum theoretical transfer speed of 6 Gbps (about 600 MB/s), though real-world speeds are often lower due to various factors. Higher RPM drives, such as 10,000 RPM or 15,000 RPM models, are available but are primarily used in enterprise environments.

What is special about a SAS hard drive?
An SAS hard drive has many high performance advantages over a SATA drive. The main thing that makes it better is the speed. A typical SATA drive operates at 7200 RPM, yet a typical SAS drive operates at 10,000 or 15,000 RPM.
Will sata 2 run on sata 1?
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.
How do you get a sata hard drive to work on a PC that only supports ide hard drives what method would be best for drive and PC speed?

Can you replace eide hard drive with a sata hard drive?
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.
What is the difference between a serial and a sata hard drive?
A serial hard drive is the same as a SATA hard drive. SATA is Serial ATA, and PATA is Parallel ATA.
Is Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Hard Drive sata?
Yes it is a sata drive. It is a internal hard.
Is a sata hard drive better than a solid hard drive?
a solid state drive is faster than an sata drive...
What links a hard drive to the system bus in a computer?
Well it can vary between high speed SATA or high speed IDE hard drives. They all link into a port on the side or middle of a motherboard. an IDE hard drive is a hard drive with a long rectangular outlet or hookup to the motherboard. A SATA hard drive is a small but reliable plug to the motherboard about half an inch long.
How fast is a 500gb computer hard drive?
depends. 500gb is a decent Hard drive size, but the speed depends on the access speed. Hopefully it is a SATA drive, since PATA is very slow. SATA can be accessed at 1, 3, or 6 GBps. obviously the higher the number, the faster it can be accessed.
Is 2.5inch hard drive sata 3.0 backward compatible with sata 1.5?
Yes. SATA drives and controllers are backwards and forwards-compatible. However, a 3.0 drive attached to a 1.5 controller will only run at 1.5 speed.
Where can one purchase a SATA hard 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.
How much are sata hard drives?
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.
