    I am in the process of buying a SATA PCI controller. I have bought a SATA 320 GB WD 3200 drive.

    Some people told me that buying an external SATA controller wont make a difference - But the source is not good. Now, my comp does not have a SATA port(s).

    What do you suggest? Should go for a SATA PCI controller or just go for an ATA drive?

    I already have a 160GB ATA drive. But I am expanding for the samples I am going to get.

    Is it better to have two ATA's or I can go for a SATA.

    A quick reply would be much appreciated so that I can send my SATA drive back ASAP if required.

    Thanks..
    Regards,

    Make sure the controller you get also supports the NCQ/TCQ thing for a good investment...

    Actually with hardware questions it's common among the users to put PC questions into the Giga/Halion/Kontakt sections and Mac questions into EXS section. Kinda substitute for it as it usually is also relating to the named samplers somehow and the in-the-know look through these.

    All the best,
