You can use a Serial ATA drive in the same system with Parallel ATA drives as long as both interfaces are supported on the motherboard or with a host adapter. Because of this, there is no jumper to set to make a Serial ATA drive a master or slave on its cable, as it will be the only drive connected to that data cable. Unlike Parallel ATA, there is no master-slave relationship between drives that use a Serial ATA interface. With a Serial ATA interface, each disk drive has its own cable that connects directly to a Serial ATA host adapter or a Serial ATA port on your motherboard. Serial ATA interface disk drives are designed for easy installation. Detailed instructions for installing Serial ATA drives in your computer, including cabling, jumper, and operating system information, and troubleshooting problems that may arise.
