So i am a newbie when it comes to all this computer stuff, but i am learning ever so slowly. I was on ebay and i saw this HDD that was 10k rpm, 160 mb data transfer rate etc... So i got a good deal on it, but i can't figure out how the hell to hook it up. My current mobo has a 40 pin set on it and the HDD is a 80 pin. I have looked for adapters everywhere but to no avail. Is there a such thing as an 80 pin to 40 pin adapter? Can i change the seat on my mobo? I have found everything from an 80-50 pin adapter but nothing to a 40 pin. It is really wearing on me. I like to do every thing myself and i have done a good job so far. I built my latest PC from scratch, but this SCSI sheot pisses me right off. I am beginnig to think that this HDD was put here to torment me. Somebody please help me....
