Hello,
I just got a new computer with Windows 7 64. The hard drive cable is red, but looks like a SATA connector? In my old computer I have a cable which looks very similar that is red. Is there a difference between blue and red as far as how it connects the hard drive? I see on my new computer what looks to be a blue plug on the motherboard. Can I take the hard drive out of my other computer and plug it into this new one? Sorry if silly question, just wondering how outdated my other drive is. It's cable looks almost identical in size to the red one, but I haven't gotten far enough into the case to compare the actual connectors.
Are they both SATA?
Thank you
