you did not notice difference because you made no difference  a 7200 rpm sata drive performs better than IDE but it is only noticeable during big disk writes like rendering on photoshop.
but a 10k rpm drive is like having scsi well some will say it is faster than scsi.
i did away with ide all together just having a slave drive on the same ide cable slows everything down. |
I did a lot of reading on this, plus trying it personally, and you can't have an IDE master with a sata slave in winxp
your bios will recognize it, but that is about it....i tried for 4 hours the other night
once I hooked up the sata as a slave and encoded one 50minute avi, I noticed maybe a 5 minute difference in encoding time, not enough to get me all wet in the pants over sata
I am not the only one noticing this either, if you check out many encoding forums everyone is noticing the same thing....the ide is rated at 133/MBps and the sata was rated at 150MBps...woopity doo, again, not worth the hassle of switching drives all around
and no, my board doesn't support sata 2.0, and I am fine with that
