I need to add a hard drive to my system but not sure what type to get.Here are the facts;I have a IBM Aptiva p2 350,8 gig,96 ram.I would like to get a 40 gig hd (7200) to keep up with dv rendering/editing through a 1394 in/output.How do I know what interface will work with my system, ultra ata/66 , ata/100 , udma/66 ? I have a ibm aptiva 2139e5u. On the Ibm web site it says "Two PCI local bus Enhanced IDE v1.0 compatible harddisk drive interfaces that support PIO mode up to mode 5 , DMA 32-bit access up to mode 2 and Ultra 33 Synchronous DMA up to mode 2 (33M bytes/sec)". I don't know what that means. what I am looking at is a Maxtor Diamond Plus 60. Ultra ATA IDE 40 gig hard drive.will this work? Here are the specs:
Formatted Capacity: 40.9GB
Interface: 40-pin ATA-5
Data Transfer Rates: 100MB/s (UATA)
Average Seek Times: <8.7ms
Buffer Size: 2MB
Rotational Speed: 7200rpm
Height (inch/mm): LP (1.02/26.1)
for any help
