It's like people only do things because they get paid, and that's just really sad
Does having SATA drives act as IDE cause performance loss? I am trying to find a way to explain some strange hdd activity (pretty slow when trying to perform parity repairs on files, when my old computer with a sata drive does it 4-5 times as fast)

Also: if it does, I did IDE emulation to install windows and have since installed sata drivers, would windows be able to find everything ok if I turned it off?
thanks it advance

edit: the speed difference was measured while repairing the same files

edit: thank you Zorilla for answering my question
