Sata Controller
What is a sata controller card?
I just asked a question about whether to use SATA or EIDE and somebody answered and said that SATA was NOTcompatible with my computer (HP Media Center m370n) and that I needed to buy a SATA controller card. I looked it up and there are so many different kinds. Does it matter which one I get? Are all of them compatible with my computer?
Thanks Dashes!!! ^_^
Okay, so a SATA will not work with my motherboard??? So I'd be better of buying the EIDE HD instead??? I need to replace the motherboard to take advantage of the power of the SATA?
helo again 
an sata controller card is a circut board you buy and place into an open pci-socket in your computer. the card enables you to use sata hard drives by pluging them directly into the new card. personaly i like Promise brand but it doesnt matter much which kind you get. i recoment an SATA-150 type since your compuer would not be able to take advantage of the faster SATA-300 type speed anyway. all you have to do is make sure the box says WindowsXP compatible on it and it should work just fine.
