What equipment do I need to connect a SATA hard drive to a motherboard that doesn t support SATA?

There is this kind of card, SYBA SATA adapter card, about 100-200 yuan, Promise Ultra100TX2 hard disk acceleration card, about 200 yuan, all support serial port hard disk! These cards are PCI devices!

Highpoint Rocket1511 is connected to an external SATA interface, this card is also good, there are pictures and introductions, you go and see.

This card allows you to put your hard drive outside, hahaha.

Because the interface method is different. So there's nothing riser card can solve yet. However, you can go to the second-hand computer and ask if there is a home interface on the motherboard.

I've seen strongmen who can add an AGP port to a motherboard that doesn't have an AGP port. Go ahead and ask. However, I personally don't recommend hardware changes to the motherboard, because the personal technology is not in place.

It's quite risky.

I add part of the content of Brother xzxyf:

There are also adapters for SATA interfaces, which are divided into two types: with hard disk box and without hard disk box, I have seen it on a business trip to Shenzhen, around 100 yuan;

The hard disk of the SATA interface cannot be detected by the motherboard, which is caused by the wrong setting, and the solution is as follows:

1. First of all, when you boot from the computer, enter the motherboard management tool BIOS.

2. After entering the BIOS management tool page, click the Advanced button, as shown in the figure below.

3. Click the advanced button menu to enter the advanced page. Use the down arrow keys of your keyboard to move down to select.

4. On the Advanced page, find the SATA controller mode and press the Enter key.

5. The SATA controller selection page appears, change the original default AHCI mode to Compatible mode, then press F10 to save, and click the OK button.

SATA interfaces, always backward compatible, regardless of device or interface.

That is to say, between different versions of interfaces and devices, you can mix them without principles, and the motherboard is a SATA2 interface, which can be connected to SATA3 SSDs, and there is no problem in use.

However, when mixing, the working protocol is at a minimum standard, and the SATA3 hard drive will work in SATA2 mode.

Yes, because each new interface or technology has to consider the market occupancy of the interface and technology that is actually used at present, it will be backward compatible, and SATA3 will be no problem when connected to SATA2 or SATA1, but the speed and performance are not fully exerted. However, SATA3 should have no essential difference with SATA2 or SATA1 in the past, because the speed of the hard disk is limited by the speed of the disk, and the speed does not change, and its transmission rate basically cannot be increased, I estimate that SATA3 can only increase its transmission speed by increasing the cache in this case.

Solid state disk (solid state disk or solid state drive, abbreviated as SSD), also known as solid state drive, is a hard disk made of a solid-state electronic memory chip array.

Solid state drives, because Taiwanese English refers to solid capacitors as solid. The SSD consists of a control unit and a memory unit (flash chip, DRAM chip).

SSDs are identical to ordinary HDDs in terms of interface specifications and definitions, functions and usage methods, and are basically the same as HDDs in terms of product shape and size (the size and shape of SSDs in the emerging form are completely different from SATA HDDs).

The operating temperature range of the chip is very large, commercial products (0 70) and industrial products (-40 85). Although the cost is high, it is becoming more popular in the DIY market.

Because the technology of solid-state drives is different from that of traditional hard disks, many new memory manufacturers have emerged. Manufacturers only need to buy NAND chips, then configure the appropriate control chip, write the main controller**, and make the SSD.

The new generation of SSDs generally adopts SATA-2 interface, SATA-3 interface, SAS interface, MSATA interface, PCI-E interface, interface, CFast interface, SFF-8639 interface and NVMe AHCI protocol.

OK. SATA interface.

If they are compatible with each other, SATA II interfaces can use SATA III

SSD, but it doesn't reach the maximum theoretical speed of SATA III.

There are times when we don't know what's going on, our motherboard doesn't recognize SATA hard drives, so what to do with this problem? So let me tell you about the problem that the motherboard does not recognize SATA hard drive, I hope it can help you!

Workaround for the motherboard does not recognize SATA hard drive

1. Reinsert the hard disk, and the data cable and power cable are plugged in and plugged in.

2. If the old motherboard can't detect the new hard disk, you can try the jumper. There is a jumper position in the picture above, which can speed down the hard disk and downgrade it, and the old motherboard may be able to identify it.

3. None of the above methods work, it may be that the hard disk is broken, or the motherboard is too old. Let's change the hard drive and solve it.

Additional Method Analysis for Motherboard Not Recognizing SATA Hard Drive:

1. The failure of the hard disk cannot be used.

1. The BIOS settings are incorrect.

It mainly occurs in the BIOS about SATA setting errors, especially some early motherboards use a third-party SATA RAID controller, but basically it is turned off in the BIOS, so to use the hard drive, you need to turn on this chip.

2. SATA connector failure.

There are 2 possibilities for this kind of failure:

1) The connector is loose, the phenomenon is that the hard disk self-test sound can be heard when the boot is turned on, but the hard disk cannot be found in the BIOS.

2) The connector is not clean, and the phenomenon is mainly due to slow transmission speed or pause. In this case, wipe the metallic properties of the SATA connector with alcohol, and then plug in the SATA cable tightly.

3. The control chip itself is limited.

Early SATA chips only supported SATA hard drives, and if SATA hard drives were connected, they might not be supported. We can change the working mode of the hard disk through the jumper of the hard disk, of course, some models of hard disk need to be adjusted with tool software.

4. Driver failure.

When installing the XP, if there is a third-party SATA RAID chip on board, you must install the driver at the beginning of the installation, otherwise the hard drive will not be found after rebooting.

Second, the hard disk with SATA interface causes the blue screen to be repaired.

Since the SATA interface was introduced after the advent of WinODWS XP. If the computer uses a hard disk with SATA interface, and when installing the XP system, you need to call the SATA interface driver, if the motherboard cannot provide the corresponding driver, there will be an error that the hard disk cannot be recognized, resulting in a system blue screen.

The solution to the failure is as follows:

Solution 1: Disable SATA in the BIOS, install the XP system, and then re-enable SATA support in the BIOS.

Solution 2: Use an installation CD with integrated SATA driver.

Solution 3: Use the floppy drive to install the SATA driver, and press F6 to load the SATA driver when the system is installed.

If multiple hard disks are used at the same time, you should pay attention to the number of SATA ports on the motherboard. The system disk should be connected to the numbered 1 interface as much as possible, so that it can be used first, especially when there is a system in multiple hard disks, and it should be connected in the order of the number of SATA interfaces.

If the SSD is connected to the SATA 2 interface of the motherboard, the data will be transmitted at the speed of SATA 2, which will seriously affect the performance of the hard disk and the user's experience.

When connecting to hard disks, it is also important to note that many new motherboard designs are all SATA 3 interfaces, but there are also some motherboards that have both SATA 3 and SATA 2, and when connecting to hard disks, you cannot simply connect SATA 3, but give preference to SATA 3 interfaces.

It works. SATA compatible!

It's just that SATA3's SSD will automatically reduce its speed and run according to SATA2.

Works and is fully compatible. In fact, the speed of the S2 SSD is already very fast, and the S3 is theoretically 30% faster. The overall performance also has something to do with the other configurations of the computer, in fact, it is not easy for you to feel how much faster the S3 is than the S2, because the S2 is fast enough

Of course it's good.

I'm the book of '09.,SATA2.,It feels like I'm back to life after upgrading.。

But be careful, the memory should not be too small, at least 4G. If it is small, upgrade the memory first.

It can be used, upwards compatible, but the speed will be at the speed of SATA2, which is 3G, and it can't reach the solid-state 6G.

Yes, but the performance of your SATA3 hard disk will be reduced to the standard of SATA2, although there is not much difference in the appearance of the interface and the standard in terms of specifications, but there is still a difference in the way of data transmission, there is no big difference in the appearance of SATA2 and SATA3 cables, the cables produced by different manufacturers may be clear in the color and the logo on the cable The specifications of the cable are supported by SATA2 or SATA3, However, whether the SATA2 cable is used between the SATA3 hard disk and the motherboard, or the SATA3 cable is used between the SATA2 hard disk and the motherboard, it can be used universally, and there will be no compatibility problems with any specifications.
