last nite i tried to install my xconnect, WD raptor, and maxtor 200gb sata

xconnect:
the cables are way too unflexible and my case is too small for it to fit, so its back to red yellow black hell for me
when i get a bigger case ill use it but for now its red yellow black hell again

74 gb raptor
i didnt get the formatting in 2 mins or install in 10 :thinking: but it is still noticably faster than anything ive had before
in fact windows seems to load at about the same speed as my 7200 ide hdd

anyone know why in my cmos setup it says ide channel 1? or is that how its supposed to be? or am i doing something wrong?
