I have an AMD Phenom X4 9550 Quad Core Processor with Windows Vista, and my motherboard is the following:
How can I determine which type of internal hard drives I'm restircted to? I mean like out of:
And if you could explain the differences between these types, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks!
You'll want to get an internal Serial ATA (SATA II). I'm currently running 2 Seagate 250 GB drives and have another in the computer downstairs. I also have three EIDE Seagates (a 250 GB and two 80 GBs that are 4, 5 and 6 years old...) All still work perfectly. EIDE have the flat ribbon wire and are older tech than the SATA interface. SATA II is much faster than EIDE. SCSI isn't something you have to worry about in a newer personal computer. Solid State means no moving parts. Solid State Drives (SSDs are much faster than 'platter' drives, but they don't last as long (yet). Plus, SSDs are way more expensive...
