agree about seagates being good, but for the extra coupe of notes you should get sata, even if its just for the improoved airflow. Plus youll have to option to raid it later on
Why not go SATA? The HD is the slowest component in a computer. Why get one thats even slower? Especially when SATA is so cheap anyway.
I am also a Seaget fan but the 250 GB Seagate only has 8mb cache, and I think the 250 GB Western Digital has a 16mb cache, just something to think about.
And dont listen to the guy who said dont get SATA, thats just stupid. Maybe hes right, dont get SATA, get SATA II, hahaha. Either way, I would say dont get anything less then SATA. And its less then 10 freaking dollars more to get SATA instead of UATA. Unless your on an extreme budget, just freaking pamper yourself and get SATA, jesus.
go on eBay and tell me that the SATA HDs are cheaper than UATA
also, check a review testing game performance with two different HD inputs: IDE vs SATA
you will find that there is no decrease in performance using an IDE over an SATA. the only thing SATA truly has is the tiny cable and maybe higher cahce levels.
