Hacp, I must disagree. A SATA Seagate Barracuda is much quicker than any typical IDE drive. It is a very noticeable difference.
It will all depend upon what PZEROFGH is looking for. If quick loading is your thing, then perhaps that price is well worth the money. If you're budget hungry, then the IDE drive may be a better choice. It may be slower, but you're saving a good deal of money.
