Im in the process of building my own computer, and all im down to is the harddrive, and controller card. Excuse me for being an idiot, but im assuming you have to buy a controller card (66/100) when getting your harddrive. Or is the controller card only if you want to buy a harddrive that takes advantage of ata 66/100?
Ok scenerio... i buy a maxtor HD and plug it into the mainboard via the cable.... will the transfer rate be determined by the board directly, or what? because when im looking at the kt7- raid board it says ultra ata 100 primary and secondary sockets, does that mean its automaticlly set up for ata 100? or that it still needs a ata 100 controller plugged into it?
thank you to anyone responding to my question, and im really sorry for my lack of knowledge on the controllers.
