SATA II isn't really faster than SATA. The 3 Gbps speed that SATA II offers is only theoretical. You won't see any difference in real world situations. However if the SATA II drive supports NCQ (and so does your mobo) and the SATA drive dosen't, you might consider changing it.

i am getting it for 5250 rs.... hitachi deskstar.... should i buy it..... will it last more than seagate...?????
also i am planning to buy asus a8n-e... it supports sata II but does it supports ncq..... again i want to buy another hdd in near future and use raid 0...... i know in case of raid 0 data is simultenously writtern on both hard disk..... in that case should i get hitachi, coz if one hdd burns out my data will be at risk.....

No matter what the interface, the platter inside is going to spin at the same speed i.e 7200 rpm (for most drives). This is the limiting factor. If the hard disk can't read data fast enough to saturate a 150 Mbps SATA interface how can it fully utilise the 3 Gbps SATA II interface?cyrux said:

Stick to your Seagate 200GB SATA HDD. You won't gain anything by moving to another brand HDD or a SATA II HDD.

Take the SEAGATE 7200.9 SATA II (160GB). 3GBPS with NCQ. I have got 2 of these in RAID 0. ITs the fastest drive I have ever crossed upon and even 1 HDD will give u blazing perfomance aith the reliability and excellent after sales warranty.

I'll say it once again: THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN PERFORMANCE BETWEEN SATA I AND II.
Seagate drives are really, really reliable. Plus they come with a 5 year warranty. Why do you want to change your drive when there's nothing wrong with it?
