Possible to install 1 SATA & 1 PATA drive? Also, is the BT module v1.1 or 1.2?

Hi fellows,

I'm new to this forum and am about to purchase my first Sager 9880. I was wondering though, if I were to purchase it configured with one SATA drive, can I plug in my existing ATA drive (Hitachi 80GB 5400RPM ATA-6 i think) drive in the second drive bay? Or must both the drives be either ATA or Serial ATA? I'm not gonna be using any RAID configurations. I just wanna know if I can plug in my existing drive into the system, should I order it with a SATA one as the first drive. And also, how would this work? As I saw in the review thread that the drives are stacked in a bracket with the relevant interfaces (either SATA or PATA). Or are there TWO drive brackets in the system?

Also, is the optional BlueTooth module BT V1.1 or 1.2? And does it use WIDCOMM or Microsoft's native (crappy) drivers? If WIDCOMM, any idea which version?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
ArrakisX

Both HDD interfaces must be the same.

Don't know about the BT.

Bt 2.0

The D900k is going to have a BT2.0 module, though it is only combo with b/g wireless, not a. So you either get 802.11a or bluetooth, but not both :-( My change witht he final specs.

true, but how often does one need 802.11a? I have never had a use for it personally. As I understand it, 802.11a was never very widely used. If you use it, that's another story of course. But I know I personally am not the least bit concerned about the lack of it in my next notebook.

Of course we are OT for this thread. This conversation belongs in the D900k countdown thread.
