If you go to your mobo's website, it should tell you if it supports SATA

Thanks for the help.

Sadly I discovered that my mobo does not support SATA. Even more sadly I already purchased a SATA HD. Its returnable, however, I would still like to know if there is any equipment I can buy to allow it to hook up.

The brand of my PC is an Emachines if that helps.

Wow I cant thank you enough. I love newegg (thats where I bought the HD).

So as long as I buy this PCI card, my mobo will be able to handle the SATA drive???

And... is there a particular one you would recomend?

Thanks so much

Are you looking to run Raid or just a single SATA drive?

[jman4001]

Just one single SATA drive, plus another ATA drive, which as far as i know doesnt anything anyways

[OneCool]

Im here to tell you I have never bought a SATA PCI controller for a single SATA drive.

With that said I would choose this one http://www.newegg.co...N82E16816115011


edit: I only run Raid0
