da'bEAST Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I bought a SATA dirve (Maxtor 160 gb 7200 8mb).My mobo is Giagbyte 8IG1000.I don't have RAID support.I dont have any drivers so I searched in my manual and found that i could mount my drive in remap mode so that it's seen as a normal ATA drive.Does this affect my performance and/or life of my drive?THX!

benners Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 At the moment I dont think there is much in it regarding performance, the ATA133, SATA160 are only max burst speeds ( I think) they rarely go balls out when transfering data, but at least you get to use a nice thin cable, although they dont seem to want to bend as much as ATA cables Try Gigabytes web site to find your driver.
