Dear All:
My computer is Dell OptiPlex GX280
From the specification on
http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/optix_gx280?c=us&cs=28&l=en&s=dfb
the hard drive is
Serial ATA 40, 80, 160 and 250GB 7200 RPM hard drives with S.M.A.R.T. II
To install Linux, I want to add a hard drive.
The Dell website recommended product is
MAXTOR
100 GB 7200 RPM OneTouch II USB External Hard Drive
$127.46
It is surprising that an external hard drive is recommended. But what
is more confusing is this website,
http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html
Seems serial ATA is not supported by Linux. So probably I have to buy a USB
external hard drive. I wonder if Fedora support serial ATA or external
USB or neither?
Many many thank,
HS
Works for me. But I did not attempt RAID. Shows up as /dev/sda. I love
SATA now.
