If you want a sata drive, your motherboard and power supply must support it. That means your power supply has to have sata power connectors and the motherboard has to have sata data ports.
You need to add your pc manufacturer and the model to your specs.

So my Motherboard supporrts SATA.. then what else should make sure of?
Hi there
ensure also you have enough SATA power connectors too -- if you haven't got enough you can get the adaptors IDE==>SATA very cheaply.

Post a link to the drive(s) you are considering, then we can let you know if it will be compatible.

That one will work provided you have the SATA power connector or adapter. You may need to buy a SATA data cable too if you don't have one.
