You will need a SATA PCI card or a new motherboard to use this. I dont think we will ever see an adapter that goes from SATA back to PATA.

Free shipping ?

Well not exactly I used my fedex account for shipping to get a much lower rate.

SATA to Parrallel adapters abound. The adapter does NOT care which direction you are moving data (otherwise it would be a one way device).

I have 4 i am using with my 66mzh Raid card.

Do be warned all adapters require and outside powersource.

Also, the item is invalid though the link is still there.

My order got cancelled. I checked its status on their website. They didn't send me an e-mail about it.

I understand it well enough to know that unless you can show me a PATA drive that out performs the SATA WD Raptor that there IS a "performance increase for going with SATA in current hard drive technology." Please try to understand the "reply to topic" button before posting. It is only necessary to press it once.

I placed an order around midnite. Got an email order confirmation. Then, at around 7:00 AM PST, I got a call from CDW with someon trying to explain that the Hard Drive is not in stock and there is a price mixed up. The rep said that the regular price of the drive is $150. He said do I want to wait and get the HD at the regular price or cancel the order. I said I thought the drive was on the special xmas sale since the clearance price was marked at around $80. He said he check on it and we were disconnected. I received another email said to check the shipping address, so I assume that the order went through. didn't want to call back and remind him of the order.

I checked CDW website and my order status is "not shipped yet" but at least it's not cancelled. There's still hope! Good luck with your order.

 

[GotIssues]

what a load of BS. Mine says cancelled as well, but they never sent me an e-mail. Maybe they are planning on waiting a week like Dell... :|

 

[Axon]

pwnd, as it were.

Also, check your credit card bills, I'm not for certain, but there is about $140 in charges unaccounted for (online statement doesn't tell me where it was charged to for about 2 days after the charge), and since I have been doing finals week for the last 4 days, I haven't gone spending much of anything, although it is possible that I just don't remember spending that much money on anything.

 

[LLLosingit]

Mine says it's backordered

 

[JohnnyPastrami]

DEAD.

My CDW rep just called and stated that cancellation emails going out as we speak

Website says not available online

oh well...:frown:

Sorry to burst your bubble guys, I contacted CDW and verified my purchase and all 2500 others were cancelled. It was a ONE item open box. So all we got was a credit authorization on our credit card, and it won't clear until tomorrow so we can't use our money

I love you people with nothing to do except be beligerent a-holes. Get a life why don't you? SATA does NOT offer any performance increase over PATA technology currently. Again you are talking about a hard drive 10K RPM HD that happens to come in a SATA interface. We are talking interface, NOT actual HD performance. Understand little man? Go ahead and continue on with your ignorant posting and useless bashing.
Have a Merry Christmas.

I ordered 3 last night together. Then a 4th about 20 minutes after that. I recived confirmation emails for the 3 and the single. I then only recieved a second confirmation on the group of 3 today, and my CC was only charged for the 3.

So i am going to get 3 for a good price, or they started canceling the orders and my 4th never got a chance to go through. My online CC says its a temp charge, but atleast they charged it We will see....

 

[vectorz]

We all got confirmation emails. However, like I said.. they cancelled all of them. The guy said they're still composing the apology letter that's why you haven't gotten your cancellation notice yet. Just call the number on the bottom of your confirmation email.

 

[Fant]

Price no longer listed. Now it says call. Although there is a simliar one on the clearance page for $80 something. There is also a SATA 80gb listed for $50 something. I guess the deal for the 120gb at $59 is dead?

There's a reason that WD choose a SATA only interface with the Raptor. Although high performing, I doubt the Raptor would fare as good as it is now with a PATA interface.

Funny that a 7,200 RPM PATA drive vs. the same 7,200 RPM SATA drive has no performance increase. Of course the future is SATA, but I'm sorry nothing even really goes beyond the IDE/66 technology today and we already have IDE 133.

I have no intention to sit back and argue with you, I was mearly pointing out to the poster that asked if there was any performance increase in buying the HD advertised in this thread over the PATA version, that the answer to his question was "No." Sorry for trying to be helpful. Stupid me.

Until you decide to reword or back pedal out of your initial post, you are fair game for useless bashing. I am well aware that today's SATA products are really PATA products with an extra SATA-to-PATA bridge chip but since you said "There is no performance increase for going with SATA in current hard drive technology" in comparison it to a "standard IDE ATA" I will refute it until you show me a "standard IDE ATA" in any RPM that out performs the SATA Raptor. UNTIL YOU DO THAT I CONSIDER SATA A CURRENT PERFORMANCE INCREASE. Understand big man?
