O.P. [Question] SATA, ATA, IDE and all that stuff
I need a new HDD for my PC, since my reliable external HDD seems to be having I/O errors lately (:cry:).

Anyway, I found one for US$60 and it's 160GB. It's the lowest price I could find here. I like it. But I need to know if I can actually put it in the CPU.

The HDD I like says it's S-ATA. Ummm, how do I know what mine is? Where do I look, other than inside the case (which I can't open (please2stoptellingmetodosokthnx))?

Or maybe it doesn't matter? I dunno. :P


Remember, I'm absolutely clueless about hardware. You'll have to explain it to me as if I were more stupid than usual. :happy:
