no daisy chain for sata. 1 sata 1 cable 1 port on mobo. that's better actually due to many people confused with master and slave on ide.

maxtor really have alot of problem???
i've been using maxtor sata 80gb hdd for over 4 years...and add another western 80gb IDE hdd ady

Maxtor had some problems with the first production runs of the diamondmax,i got 3 DOA hdd's and then the others were fine!

I still prefer western digital tho!!

does anyone has any comment about Hitachi (HGST) Deskstar T7K500 320GB (8MB) SATA-II?
http://www.hardwarezone.com.my/priceguide/...id=237&id=17477

does 16MB SATA-II support for all computers like 5 years back?
my rig is P4 2.8E HT with Intel865GBF mobo.
many thanks.

it depend on your motherboard SATA port....u should find out whethers is SATA1 or SATA2 port....

mine is SATA1, will it just limited the speed or totally cannot be detected?

hai, normally my system running can hear a sound 'ta.....' espcially when download file also.
Maybe senior member has experience about it.
It's hdd problem, bad sector ???
But i run on d*** scan no show me any bad sector.
So the sound came from where???
And some time also can hear 'ng......' and some funny sound, so what happening to my hardware???

all hd sata2 should be backward compatible..im using Hitachi Deskstar T7K500 320GB 16mb sata2 on 865PE chipset.. comment bout it..performance..wd n seagate better..temperature wise..

Guys,

I'm thinking of getting a 320Gb HDD to replace my current 160Gb coz not enough space already and not enough SATA port as well. I want to partiition the HDD into two partition with 160Gb each. Drive C for OS, Office, Applications and Photos and, Drive D is for junk data like movie, tv series, anime, games etc. The old 160Gb to back-up and replicate Drive C.

Can this work?

yes. it can be done. i'm using acronis disk director suite 10 for partition management

if i wanna do ghost on my C drive, what software can i use??

norton ghost
acronis true image

for more, pls google "disk imaging software"

or u can simply use the built-in Disk Manager from Administrative Tools...
acronis...partition manager...even swissknife works fine

i think norton ghost is the best..

I would recommend Norton Ghost. Been using it and very satisfy with it.

Home edition or Corporate one? Home edition seems less advanced..
