HDD Help..

[Sivart]

Hey i recently posted about getting a new computer , i think i've found one i like. 1 Problem though... It has a SATA HDD and i need it to be just an ATA Drive , because i just bought a new Harddrive and im not going to get a new computer unless i can transfer it.. Is there a way to connect an ATA Drive to a SATA Ready computer?

A SATA ready computer, will 99% of the time have both connections. Mine does.

Plus, there are like only 3 CD/DVD drives that run on sata, so it HAS to have atleast 2 ata connections

:yeahthat:

and theres always the external drive kits which turn a regular drive into usb.

Okay so if i buy a computer with SATA it will support ATA too? Thanks!
