....time for shrek to butt in....
definately SATA.....not a chance for PATA!!!
Serial ATA will completely phaze out PATA in sum time...
nd as tom cruise((allwyndlima)) told u 1.5GBPS is worth going for,
SATA was introduced in 2002, troduced as the next step in ATA technology. SATA provides simpler installation, thinner cabling, and faster performance (up to 1.5 Gb/s)...thinner cabling inturn giving more airflow within the cabinet...!!!
bo for SATA be future safe!!
seagate is the BEST...next is maxtor/western digital
nd i dont go for samsung...samsung nd shrek r enemies!!!!
80GB SATA Seagate 7200rpm - 3500
120GB SATA Seagate 7200rpm - 4100 ((8mb buffer))
120GB SATA Seagate 7200rpm - 4000 ((4mb buffer))
160 GB SATA Seagate 7200rpm - 5000
nd MIND U....DONOT GO BELOW 80GB AT ANY COST!!!!
