There are other, non-speed, advantages. But I'd tend to take the point of view that things are moving away from IDE to SATA, and just concentrate on buying the hardware that goes together. My current computers use IDE, so if I buy another internal drive for them, it'll probably be an IDE, since I don't want to add another card (a SATA interface). The next drive I'll buy will really depend on what the computer is like that it goes into. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.5-76.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
