ATA vs PATA?
Is there any difference? I have a new 80G Maxtor PATA 133 drive that will not work in an IDE caddy I have just bought. I have a new 80G Seagate Ultra drive that works fine in the caddy, just the same as all my old IDE drives.

I am using Linux Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn).
Any ideas would be much appreciated. Many thanks!

Hi Danleff!
Seagate Barracuda 80Gbytes ULTRA ATA
7200.10
S/N: 9QZ0VXFV
ST 380215A
P/N: 9CY011-30
=======================
Maxtor DiamondMax 20 80GB PATA ULTRA ATA
STM3802110A
S/N: 9LR42CY6
P/N: 9DN011-36
3.5 Series 7200.9
=======================
Caddy = StarTech DRW113ATABK (The spare drawer being the DRW113CADBK).
=======================
This is the first time I've looked so closely at the drives, I usually just see the Gbytes part!
I noticed it says on the drives: Use CSL only with an 80 Conductor cable. I am using a rounded cable at the moment but I have several others which I have tried with the caddy. The result is the same: The Seagate works, the Maxtor doesn't.
Could you please tell me how to tell the difference between an 80 and a 40 conductor cable?
Thank you for your reply. I look forward to hearing from you.
All the best!
