External Hard Drives
by Willis
(Salt Lake City, UT USA)
Morning,
The problem I am having is I purchased one of these hard drive docks, and realized afterwords that the hard drives I was going to us outside the computer were SATA hard drives while I have IDE's inside the computer.
For some reason when I try and used the external storage they computer isn't recognizing these drives, and I can't use then.
My reason I like to keep my data stored off the computer because I have lost slave and hard drives with lots of info and was hoping that storage outside on a use very seldom type drive would work best.
Can SATA and IDE's be used on the same computer together is my question? If not then I guess I have to put the SATA away until I have upgraded my internal drives and slaves to SATA.
Thanks in advance for you help.
