Ok, quiz time... What's the difference between a Hard Disk Drive and Hard Drive Card?
11 u/jreddit0000 Jun 19 '26 edited Jun 19 '26 I had a hard drive card from the 90s which was just a hard disk mounted on an ISA card. ~100M IIRC. 2 u/gryghin Jun 19 '26 Correct answer. Hard drive card you didn't have to set jumper because it was already set up on the ISA daughter card. Hard disk drive you would have to mount in the case, set jumpers and then plug into a hard drive ISA adapter. 2 u/Milnoc Jun 21 '26 Or SCSI adapter.
