Hi Guys,
For the last 6 years i've gone from Hardware and went into networking.
But now SATA is going to kick my ass - as I have a simple question about it that I can't answer.
I have just purchased a HP desktop with an 80Gb SATA drive. However we need 160Gb to I purchased another HP 80Gb SATA drive.
Familiar with IDE I would just have one as master, other as slave on the same controller. (Pri and Second)
But how can I do it with SATA? I mean, do the drives daisy chain off each other like SCSI or are there multiple controllers on the m/board?
Any help with this simple, basic question appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve.
