The pci bus is what held sata back, ide or sata you can still only use as much as the pci bus will give you. | |

You will notice the difference between an old IDE hard drive and SATA drive. However, you are not going to see much between an ATA100/133 and SATA 150. | |

I've got two Maxtor 250GB SATA 150 drives in my system running them on separate buses. Looking at the drives their doesn't seem to be any jumpers to change. I just plugged them in and work fine. | |
