YES but I would suggest that you also load the driver software just in
case you ever get a SATA Hdd
and want to install it.
With my Asus motherboards I have never been given a prompt to install SATA
drivers and I use SATA hard drives exclusively now. Am I missing something
important? I have always simply hooked up the SATA power and data cables and
everything ran fine.
In the early days of USB 2.0 you had to install drivers for it, or it would
run as USB 1.1. Those drivers were on the CD furnished with the motherboard.
Now they are in either SP 1 or surely in SP 2 for Windows XP.
I hope I have not been depriving the computers I have built of performance
by not installing SATA drivers.
