    easiest way to tell:

    look at the connector. IDE connectors are 40-pin, RAID is 50-pin.

    IDE can run 2 drives in a chain, whereas RAID runs 8 I think....


    Not too familiar with the definition of SATA tho... I've never used anything but standard IDE drives in my PCs
    - The problem with the world today is that there's too many stupid people running around and no one's eating them.
    - Chuck Norris fought a pirate once. It was close but the pirate won. Chuck has been in a state of chronic depression ever since.
