The SATA won't actually improve your speed

A 7200 rpm drive can't even spin fast enough to get to the speed max of an IDE cable.

That's not true anymore. Not with Seagate's 7200.11 drives, which can transfer over 100MB/s sustained.

I believe IDE can transfer at up to 133 mb/s depending on your motherboard's IDE controller...

I've got a 250GB hard drive and I've only filled it about half way, and that is with lots of old ISO and installer files backed up.

Only a few IDE hard drives actually use ATA133 though.

Most of them are Maxtor drives.

I've nearly filled my 750GB drive, so I'm thinking of getting another one.

porn? @.o

250GB total= 212GB unused

incorrect use of GiB/ you have 30GB of HD space not 30GiB

 

[White_Wolf]

Oh, I had it backwards, didn't I.

I have a 30 GB (gigabyte) hard drive, which adds up to only 27.9 GiB (gibibytes).

Thanks, now I can avoid making a fool out of myself in the future LOL
