Multiple hard drives in caddies
For some years, on my everyday computer at home I've been using three ATA/IDE hard drives in separate caddies, physically changing drives to suit various requirements. Motherboard is Elite Group K8M800-M2.
I now need to renew that computer, because the current one is kaput.
I see that computers are now sold with "SATA" hard drives and cables, whatever that means.
To save the expense of buying a bunch of SATA hard drives, I want to continue using my ATA/IDE hard drives and caddies. However, I guess they wouldn't be compatible with a SATA computer. Low cost is the big necessity.
Can anyone recommend a supplier of computers and their model names, that would still be compatible with my ATA/IDE hard drives and caddies, please. I suspect that there may be some cheap "obsolete" but unused stock lying around now that SATA is the "in" thing.
I'm a PC novice and would greatly appreciate simple terminology.
Thanks.
