Choosing Your Motherboard Sata Series
Some people or companies prefer to purchase pre-configured PC’s from manufacturers like Acer, Dell and HP. The reasons vary from convenience to lack of technical knowledge about PC parts and their assembly. Only people who build their own PC’s are familiar with the saying “biggest bang for the buck”. Indeed building your own PC and being able to choose which parts you would need allow you to save a lot and get more, performance-wise from your average PC. But first, you have to know which parts you need. To start with, you will need to choose a good motherboard. In the standards of choosing a motherboard, SATA should be the first into consideration. SATA, for those who don’t know stands for Serial Advanced Technology Attachment. On an older motherboard, SATA is not the interface used for connecting Hard Drives and Optical Drives. They use the old EIDE interface which makes use of those wide ribbon cables. The difference is simple though, SATA transmits data faster at around 3 Gigabytes per second and is the current technology standard on the latest motherboards.
It shouldn’t be difficult to look for motherboards. SATA is nowadays the standard for all the boards constructed anyway. However you should take into consideration the functions of the PC that you are going to use. The board should be at least scaled enough that you wouldn’t have to replace it every year. Of course advances in technology dictates the changes of the motherboards constantly, but having the latest design will give you a far better value than going for old ones, since in the near future, these may be obsolete and manufacturers may stop producing these. Newer motherboards of course are cheaper because of the supply. Older ones of the previous generation tend to be more expensive because of its rarity.
All the other features of the motherboard can then be determined with what type of PC you are going to build. If you have large files and you need bigger storage, you would also need a specific type of motherboard. SATA ports on this board should be around 6 or more. This way you can add more Hard drives and optical drives into the system and still have room for more should the need arise. Otherwise, you may stick with the standard 4 SATA ports that mainstream motherboards have.
