Does anyone know whether the following two hard drives are compatible?
I have an old IBM (notebook) hard drive with the following specs:
AT Interface (Enhanced IDE) conforming to ATA-5
ULTRA DMA Mode 5
Storage: 30 GB
Interface transfer rate: 100 MB/s
I am planning to replace it with a new hard drive with the following
specs:
ATA-6
ULTRA DMA Mode 5
Storage: 40 GB
Interface transfer rate: 100 MB/s
The one that is bothering me is the sentence:"AT Interface (Enhanced
IDE) conforming to ATA-5". Does this mean the interface is ATA-5? Can
ATA-5 interface recognize an ATA-6 hard drive?
Thank you.
