Primary IDE

and Secondary IDE
SATA drive ?
Your disc drive is almost certainly an IDE nouns. It will be attached to the motherboard with a wide-ranging (over two inches), thin cable near three plastic connectors on it. One of these plugs to the mother board, the other two plug to CD or strong drives.



Your hard drive, if it is more than a year older, probably uses an IDE connection as capably. Newer drives are starting to use SATA connections. These are thicker and not nearly as wide beside plastic connectors that are less than an inch general. Each cable will have two connectors, one for the motherboard and one for the drive.



SCSI is usually found merely in lofty end systems, chiefly servers.
