SuSE 8.2 Pro & SATA Drives - how to install?
For today, i'm gonna just replace my IDE audio drive with a (much larger) SATA drive..... reasoning being that, if the new SATa drive would bypass the Pci bus, that ought to give me a noticeable improvement, and I can take the Ide audiodrive (WDC 7200 rpm w/8mb cache) and put it back in the old computer.

SATA drives worth getting for video editing?
As I understand it even the SATA drives available now are *converted* PATA drives, meaning they may not be 100% native SATA, but regardless they carry a price premium. As cash is a little tight right now I figure I will go with the PATA drives (unless the extra Serillel adapter costs BIG ££ $$).

My understanding is that kernel 2.4.20 does not support SATA drives, hence the system freeze. Does anyone know how I can install SuSE 8.2 Pro on this box without having to resort to opening the box and unplugigng the SATA drives? Is it possible to boot the SuSE 8.2 Pro CD and then use a later version of the kernel

New SATA Hard Drive
I can unplug the drive and it will boot with the card. I get the feeling that it might be trying to read some of the boot information from the new drive. That message is coming from the controller card. When I look at the bios I can see all the IDE drives, but the new SATA drive is not listed.

I do have the the RAID drivers on floppy that came with my Intel board. About the SATA drivers: I have an Intel D865PERL that says "SATA hard drive support with Intel RAID technology".

Partitioning Strategies - Sata Drives
Which is a real shame, because SATA offers nothing in terms of real-world performance that parallel ATA doesn't. Don't let marketing hype about a "faster interface" fool you because no hard drive on earth can exceed 100 MB/sec in sustained reads/writes that are typical of video use. Sure... *today* there's no hard

Sata and Ide drives problem booting from wanted drive Win XP PRO
The thing that really bugs me about SATA is 1 drive per channel. What were they smoking when they came up with that? Once SATA comes down in price, and some faster drives start appearing on the market, and they expand it past 150mb/s, THEN it will be worthwhile. For now I'd say you're better off with PATA raid if

Anything the CMOS says is present -- which is not *actually* present -- will induce a drive-detect delay. 2.

WTD: SATA Hard drive
Again, the "On-chip SATA" is enabled in the bios, as is SATA RAID, but the OS doesn't see it. However it may pick up a single SATA drive as the BIOS may remap this as an IDE device as opposed to native SATA.

SATA and IDE Hard Drives Together?
Since 7200rpm SATA drives are about $50 more than comparable PATA drives, would PATA drive on a $20 SATA converter be a viable alternative?
