I’m in the process of upgrading my computer and will have a MB with SATA capability. Does PS (CS2) work better on SATA drives as opposed to IDE?
SATA disks are losely comparable to the best IDE drives, or better, and there are advantages other than performance. If the disks outlive this computer then the next one may very well have no IDE connectors.
The best SATA disks are better than any IDE. I’m not prepared to compare specific disk models but for my machine I have a highly-recommended 7200RPM IDE disk and and two SATA disks. I ran benchmarks and the two SATA disks are significantly better than the IDE under w2k.
There is no reason I can think of not to buy an all-SATA system. You can even get SATA CD/DVD drives now and I assume that floppy disks will evolve to be USB devices.
