Hi all, i've just bought a new SeaGate ST360020A 60gb HDD and a couple of removable HDD Bays(/Racks)....

The HDD is ATA100 (udma mode5) compatable but i realised when i got home that the removable bays were only ATA66 (udma mode4) opps.... can't take 'em back till next sunday b'cuz they were bought from a computer fair!

Questions are...
  • 1. Will they work together anyway and just restrict the new ATA100 Drive to ATA66 with no further probs?
  • 2. (My MOBO only supports ATA66 mode4 anyway (i think 'cuz my other Mode5 drive is set at mode4))... so even if i do get the ATA100 Removable Drive Bays am i right to say it wouldn't make any difference anyway?


I think the answer to both is yes, however i shall wait for your response! most appreciated for the help, i dont want to try it until i'm sure!

Thx & Regards
