Thanks a lot! I know what to ask when I talk with them :-)
To be safe I better get a power adapter as well. This sure is looking
like a Rube Goldberg change and I dislike these.
It really isn't. I've got lots of machines at my work using varieties
of this configuration. Once you've done it once, you'll never look
back. SATA is a lot faster, even using a card in an older box.
How much better will depend on how old the IDE you replaced was. SATA
is faster but you won't see a huge difference from recent IDE models.
I will be learning a lot over the next few days. I was able to stop
shipping of the sata hard drive and the controller and yes I would have
to buy all the new cables at $18 bucks :-\
But now I am trying to learn how to make a Software RAID1 system. I
Goggled and got some serious but very old data which I printed out :-)
and hope to be able to apply to F7 but it looks bad now. I will try man
raid and such as that before I attack the raid job. And it will take 3-5
days to get the new IDE 160 GB HD ;-)
So away we go.
