    I'm thinking of buying a new hard drive maybe some thing like western digital. I was thinking should I go with SATA (Serial-ATA) or with the ordinary EIDE (or however its spelled) ATA-133 I think?

    I will use it for data, music, games, movies. I'm not doing any encoding or stuff like that.

    SATA are faster 150MHz, I think, IDE ata133mhz. I'd get an IDE has way more storage for a lot less $$$.

    sounds like you're using your drive for storage, not for anything that would require you to have a speedy harddrive.. not that ide isnt speedy is its own right.

    go with ide.

    (p.s., nice sig, i dunno if it will fly around here tho)

    I just bought myself a maxtor ide ATA/133 8MB buffer 120GB for a $100. Seems to be quite a bit faster than my old IBM 30gig drive. No complaints at this time. In fact, I had a movie ripped to my HD and using DVDshrink It only took about 5 min to encode it to fit on a dvd+r, I sure was impressed with that one.
