What are the difference is read/write speeds of PATA (ATA 100) and SATA?

I am thinking of putting a SATA HDD in my Super Drive bay of my Early 2008 MacBook Pro (NON-Unibody) and I am currious of what the difference is in speeds of these connectors. The optical drive's connector is an ATA100 and I found a OptiBay that converts the SATA into ATA100. I know there is a difference but only plan on putting Music and other media files on the HDD. Thanks for any help!

This is the adapter I found and it seems to be what I am looking for. What do you think?

  • What are the advantages of varying write speeds and burn speeds?

    What are the advantages of varying write speeds and burn speeds?

    The slower the speed, the fewer burn errors (or, in other words, you'll burn fewer "coasters"). I've always tried to burn at a slower speed, i.e. 2x - 4x. I'd rather wait a few minutes more and I've never had any burn errors.

  • What are the differences between aqapi.jar in Oracle 8.1.7 and OC4J 9.0.3

    Recently, I have been trying to use AQ as the foreign JMS provider for WebLogic MDB. I started with the AQ/JMS implementation in Oracle 8.1.7. I found that that version of AQ/JMS does not support:
    QueueConnection.createQueueSession(false, ...);
    Session.recover();
    Message.acknowledge();
    Message.setJMSType();
    Message.setJMSReplyTo();
    Connection.setClientID();
    Connection.setExceptionListener();
    After some hacking I was able to dequeue AQ messages using WebLogic MDB, but I could not handle exceptions.
    Later I looked at the version of OJMS in OC4J 9.0.3 and found all the above features are supported (I guess they are required by J2EE 1.3 specs). However, I can no longer dequeue messaged using MDB.
    Can someone at Oracle provide some insight on whether I can mix and match the two OJMS versions to get WebLogic MDB to use AQ?

    I subsequently found this thread:
    MDB on Oracle9iAS Release 2 (9.0.3)
    and found I need Oracle 9i with patches. This indeed solved my problem. The question now is, what is the major difference between the AQ versions?

  • What is the difference twixt Reader 9.x & 10.x

    What are the differences twixt Reader 9.x & 10.x and what are your opinions on them (Pro & Con).
    Thank you...

    Well, I was under the impression that the major difference is that 9.x is here for us PPC users while 10.x is for the "newer" Mac Intel, OS 11 users.
    Kind of keeping us in the loop, unlike WoW did ;^)

  • Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

    Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

    The NEW macbook Pro and Air are EXTREMELY close in form factor
    The newest macbook Pro is essentially a larger macbook Air with Retina display and options for speed in increasing prices up to an independent graphics and quad core processor.
    both Air and new Pro now have PCIe SSD and permanent RAM.
    The Air is the lightweight portable form factor, fast to boot and shut down, but with longer battery life than any of the macbook pro in 13"
    Now the new macbook Pro and macbook Air are extremely close in form factor and nature.
    both have 802ac wifi
    both have permanent RAM, no superdrive
    both are slim profiles and SSD
    The only real differences now are (in the most expensive Pros) faster processors and quadcore processors and top end model autonomous graphics.
    ....and of course the retina display
    both are now "very good for travel"
    Other than features the form factor of the Air and Pro are VERY close now,....so now its merely a matter of features and price more than anything.
    You need an external HD regardless of what you get for backups etc.   Drop into an Apple store and handle both and make your choice based on features, such as Retina or non-retina, .... both at a distance now look like the same computer.
    The Pro weighs more, ....but nowhere near what it used to just a month ago on the older macbook Pros
    The NEW macbook Pro is a different creature entirely than the older macbook Pro, .....the new Pro is thicker than the Air, but id frankly call the NEWEST Pro a "macbook Air with Retina display" , or
    Maybe a “macbook Air PRO with Retina display” 
    Instead of Air VS Pro now,.....its really a smooth transition from Air to pro without comparing say, 2 different creatures, now its like contrasting a horse from a race horse.
    Either one in 8gig of RAM (preferably)... the 4gig upgrade costs very little,  the I7 you will notice only 15% faster on heavy applications over the I5, and NOTHING on most APPS.....I5 has longer battery life.
    As you see below, the non-Retina 13" AIR is 82% of the Macbook with Retina display in resolution
    there is no magical number of pixels per inch that automatically equates to Retina quality.
    http://www.cultofmac.com/168509/why-you-might-be-disappointed-by-the-resolution- of-those-new-retina-display-macs-feature/
    A huge internal SSD isnt a game changer for anything, you need an external HD anyway
    what you WONT READ on Apple.com etc. is that the larger SSD  are MUCH FASTER due to SSD density
    "The 512GB Samsung SSD found in our 13-inch model offers roughly a 400MB/s increase in write speeds over the 128GB SanDisk/Marvell SSD"

    Hi Experts,
    What are the differences between ECC5.0 and 6.0 new GL functionality.
    If we want to implement IFRS, I think New GL functionality is very helpful, but why sap is recommending only for ECC6.0 new GL functionality, Eventhough this functionality is available in ECC5.0.
    Best Regards,

  • What is the difference btwn Reader and Acrobat Pro?

    Hello,
    My Requirement in broader sense: I am developing an VISITOR Info. Adobe Interactive Form, i have Designer 8.1 and Reader 9.0 in my Windows 7 Laptop. When i checked the menu EDIT-->form properties --> Compatability, its Adobe XML form File (XDP)
    When i opened this VISITOR interactive form in a browser, right clicking and checked form PROPERTIES, then i saw the "PDF Version: 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)" (pls. let me know what is the correct forum for me to post my questions)
    My 1 sub-set of my Requirement: Front desk guy want to open this VISITOR Info form and enters addresss details + attaches some ID proof photo copy of JPEG format + Writes some COMMENTS in the form
    Pls. let me know
    1) is my software inventory is enough to go ahead and develop a interactive form (as mentioned VISITOR Info)? or do i need any more software?
    2) I saw Acrobat Pro version 10.x.......do i need this softaware as well to get my requirement done (VISITOR Info)?
    3) What is the difference between Reader 9.0 and Acrobat Pro 10.x?
    Thank you

    Thank you.
    Yes, here am confusing! If i create the forms with Acrobat, then, why do i need LiveCycle designer?
    Pls. let me      know what do you mean "Create forms", is it like writing a letter/some text like MicroSoft word doc and finally saving it on our local machine/desktop?
    THank you

  • What are the differences between iPod 2nd and 3rd Generation models?

    Hi:
    I have a couple questions about the differences between some of the iPod Touch models:
    1) What is the difference between the *2nd Gen 8GB iPod touch* and the *3rd Gen 8GB iPod touch?*
    2) What are the differences among the *3rd Gen iPod Touch 8GB* model and the *32 GB and 64 GB models* (other than the memory differences)?
    Thanks!

    none, really.
    2) What are the differences among the *3rd Gen iPod Touch 8GB* model and the *32 GB and 64 GB models* (other than the memory differences)?
    the 32 & 64 GB models have advanced hardware components. 32GB and 64GB Touches gain 3GS specs - roughly 2x faster, with more advanced 3D graphics for games that capitalize on OpenGL 2.0 - and features like Voice Control.

  • What are the differences between ESB 10g and OSB 10g

    Hi,
    I'm newbie to OSB 10g. I have installed OSB 10g.
    I came to know after Oracle acquired BEA, the ALSB is renamed as OSB.
    I'm curious to know what are the differences between ESB and OSB.
    If there are many differences, please post any links which provide the required information in detail.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Udaya

    the 'old' esb has been renamed to mediator and is now only used as component in your sca application.
    the two service buses can't really be compared since the osb (former alsb) has way more functionality in it.
    Oracle gave it it's own place in his soa portfolio and the old esb can only be used als mediator in your sca application.
    On top of your sca application you could use the OSB to complete your architecture design.
    the difference between both.
    esb (now used as mediator) can only be used in your sca application
    in here you will use it mostly for routing/transformation, and there is some functionality for assign/java callouts conditional routing
    the osb is complete product with a lot of functionality in it. Everything you used the old 'esb' for can be done in the OSB and with a lot of extra's.
    routing/transformation/service call outs/java callouts/transport virtualization/security/and more and more
    you should read the guides of the OSB to get an idea of everything it can do for you.
