Dang, that deal is to good to pass up! ****, now I gotta choose. Brake pads, or this.... __________________ Come get a ti-shirt Quote: From the e30 M3, evolved the e36. They were "Keepin it Real" when they introduced the 318ti ClubSport in '95 and the 318ti Sports from '96 to '99. After that... well nothing else really matters. ~Jess | | | | 03-22-2009, 07:14 PM | #3 | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 | I should know this, but I'm too embarrassed to ask this question of my local geek friends, so I'll ask here. The box I'd probably put this drive in is a few years old and only has IDE sockets. So, I'm assuming that I'd need an adapter of some sort to use this SATA drive, perhaps something like this PCI card. Is that correct? Is there a significant performance hit when using a PCI adapter card like this? Thanks for the heads up!! __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

I don't think it would be any slower than your current set-up, either (I believe you cannot boot from a HD installed in this fashion, which might cause some issues if you needed to do a serious recovery... But I am not the biggest expert on this) __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

I'd look, but IE is being an ass on me and my lunch break is almost over. If it's internal I'm all over it.

Bah, think I'm going to wait till the end of next week and cross my fingers. Even if the code doesn't work and I have to pay $99, it's still a hell of a deal. Was going to ask about rotational speed, but I see there's no real answer. Since you have some of these, what's your experience with them. I guess most people wouldn't notice a difference between a 5400 and a 10k rpm drive, I just don't want something real slow like 4500rpm (like a lt of lapop drives).
