SATA Question:
This is a quote from the overview of a product from a company that I trust and find to be a reliable source, but this seems a little too good to be true.Unlike standard IDE hard drives, Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives feature faster speeds, easier configuration, and the ability to change hard drives without having to turn your system off first.
