Re: [LUG] building a PC

 

On Apr 20, 2006, David Bell was like:

That's very kind. I hadn't heard about 80-way cables so the idea was
new to me. I've just been reading about how you connect 80 wires to 40
pins. Amazing. However, this hdd was only there just to get started
and I have been advised that if I am getting new disks I should get
SATA so I am about to buy 2x 80GB SATA drives. Borrowing from Steve's
spec maybe I could do worse than Seagate Barracuda. In which case I
guess I shall not need the 80-way cable.
