Hard Drive Types

[jay1b]

Hi

 

I am looking at buying a new hard-drive for an old machine, but would want to move it to a brand new machine in about a year or so.

 

I was thinking about buying a UDMA-100 drive, i assume this would work with an older computer that currently has an old hard-drive from about '97? I know it wouldnt run at UDMA-100, but doesnt it run at the max speed the motherboard would support (in this case probably UDMA-33).

 

Can i at a later stage put this in a system with a new SATA drive? Or do i need to have the same type of drive in the entire system?

 

Thanks.

You'll be able to put it in another newer system and it will run right along side a sata drive if you choose to run sata in the future.
