General Advice

SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) hard drives are quickly becoming the new standard in hard drive technology. Motherboard manufacturers now include SATA inputs on their boards. SATA hard drives result in less clutter and increased airflow in the computer system because SATA cables are 400 percent narrower than EIDE cables.

Some older computer system motherboards don't have SATA ports but a PCI SATA controller card can be installed to add support for SATA drives. If you don't know whether your computer has SATA ports on the motherboard, refer to your computer or motherboard documentation or contact the motherboard manufacturer.
