Maxtor 6B300S0 - What Is It??

[Revenant]

Is my drive SCSI? IDE? SATA? - does that affect the physical connections?

I've got a new Asus P5W64 mobo and want to stick this drive in from my current (in use) machine. But I don't know what physical cabling I need to do so. Please advise as the mobo does not have a SCSI controller and I want to know if I need to purchase one.

The HD is a Maxtor 6B300S0, Diamond Max 10 family, Serial ATA 1.5 Gb/s 16 Mb buffer.

Thanks
Simon

Thanks (again!). I thought it was... but Everest lists it as a SCSI Disk Drive and the Asus mobo doesn't come withe a controller.

Onwards and upwards.
