Depending on which jumper blocks need to be configured, you might have to order two different sizes. <br /><br />***Seagate and Maxtor ATA drives normally require only one jumper size, 4 mm. <br /><br />***Seagate and Maxtor SATA hard drives sometimes require a jumper to modify the transfer rate at which the drive will operate, and this jumper is 2 mm.<br /><br /><br /><b>Determining the Interface<br /></b><br />You can tell which interface you need by looking at the connectors on the back of your current hard drive, or on the drive controller card installed in the computer. Each interface has a different type of connector.<br /><br /><br />ATA Connector<br /><br />ATA interfaces use a 40-pin connector. If your current hard drive or controller card has this type of connector, you need an ATA drive.<br /><br />[attachmentid=326805]<br /><br /><br /><br />Serial ATA Connector<br /><br />Serial ATA interfaces use a 7-pin terminal connector. If your current hard drive or controller card has this type of connector, you need a Serial ATA drive.<br /><br /><br />[attachmentid=326811]<br /><br />SCSI Connectors<br /><br />SCSI interfaces use one of three types of connectors. If your current hard drive or controller card has one of these types of connectors, you need a SCSI drive.<br /><br />[attachmentid=326813] icelemontea86 Hardware Thu, 08 Nov 2007 22:38:45 +0800
