It sure it faster than the old maxtor 160 I had. I had a SATA2 plug on my mother board so I was able to use it. I plan to buy a IDE sata3 card and plug into it. Is that going to work? Is it going to cause me any problems?
Thanks for any and all help

I put ubuntu 12.04.3 and install Mate to it as I really liked the old gnome desktop.

Damn this thing is fast
