can anybody tell me if there is a difference between an ata hard drive and a IDE one. I bought a external usb case for an IDE hard drive but all I'm seeing is ata hard drives are they the same?
There's more specs than that involved but I don't know what they mean.
Maybe I should leave it to the pro's.
I want to have an external case that hooks up via usb 2 and that I can swap hard drives in.
