PATA Drive?


Recommended Posts

Hello All!

Today's futureshop flyer advertised a 250gb Maxtor PATA drive. I instinctivly went out and started looking on the net. MY question is, my computer has IDE/ATA only, will a PATA drive be compatable? I'm really hoping so, because this is one hell of a deal!

Becareful...retail boxed drives from what I remember typically have only a 1 year warranty. If you go to a computer store and buy an OEM model hard drive, most come with 3 or 5 year warranties.

OEM drives are also cheaper since they don't come with a lot of wasteful packaging material.
