Plextor 760 and 716

bryant · #1 November 20th, 2006, 09:24 AM

I see. This motherboard says RAID support.
The plextor says IDE drive. The 760 says serial ata drive.

Will they both work?

Oh no, The 716sa says "Serial ATA" and the 760 says "IDE".

You're saying better not use the "ATA" one?

Please let me know?

There are two models of the Plextor 716.

The 716AL is an IDE drive and the 716SA is the ATA (SATA)

The 760A is strictly IDE

And Bryant "Raid" does not have anything to do with DVD burners. That only works for hard drives which are SATA.

Okay I think I've got it, The shuttle mother board supports raid. (which refers to HD connections).
Still, It might be best to order the 760 IDE drive
as the plextor of choice (yes or no).
And thanx for all your help, really!

The 760 is their latest and fastest model so IMO yes that would be the best.

Me too, especially since that's the one currently marketed by MTU and would come CDG certifiied if purchased through them.

That would be the deciding factor if I were making the decision
