I ask what the hard disk should I buy?

Users questions:Recently, I want to upgrade hard drives, but does not know the difference between serial and parallel port and role, and how much of my motherboard supports the hard disk. Please help the next busy. Thank a .
Experts answer: insert two 160G hard drives no problem! Serial and parallel ports connecting different peripherals. The shape of these two ports, transmission speed and can beConnected devices are different. SATA hard drives now have a serial interface, is the same reason, it can be 150MB * s the reason why the speed of transmission, the way thanks to its serial, parallel, several signals at higher frequencies can not be a good solution interference between them, so now ATA13MBb * s hard drive has reached the limits of the parallel, replaced by STAT. Another 80channel the ATA100 hard drive of the parallel data lines, of which 40 are ground, is used to prevent interference between the parallel signals. STAT that the nominal rate of bit * s, was actuallyIs the speed of 150M * 300M is now the fastest speed of a single block of hard drives of less than 100MB * s common are 40-60MB * s speed, in theory the bandwidth of SATA with 150M * s, IDEPATA133 there are 133M * s. But in fact the use of playTo the bandwidth of SATA and ATA133 are 60M * s or so, there is little difference, but compared to ATA100 (55M * s about the actual bandwidth) is also a little edge. However, the current XP and 2000 do not support SATA hard drives directly to the installation, before installationMust be used to load the floppy disk drive, so cumbersome to use. The STA is now just a transitional product, SATAII should be is the future of the mainstream theories have 300M * s bandwidth
