OP OP T the grim gopher Baseband Member Messages 51 Aug 20, 2004 #12 ok, one more question, lol i was just looking at the Fry's ad, and saw this Seagate 160gb Ultra ATA/100 harddrive (8.5ms seek time, 8mb buffer, 7200rpm, 5year warrenty) for $50. is this a good deal? also what's the difference between a ATA and SATA hdd?
