Mick,
> thanks - will check it out
The difference between SATA and IDE is essentially, let's see there
were 4 items. A bit of speed improvement, although someone followed
the original article and said it wasn't as great as listed in the
original article. Also the thin cable doesn't block air flow like the
40 pin IDE cables. And they are hot swappable. I'm not about to be
opening up my machine to unplug the hard drive. And no jumpers
necessary when adding hard drives. But who needs another drive when
minimum size seems to be 250 Gigabytes? :-)
So I'd say, if you have a small drive and want a larger one, buy a new
SATA drive. If you are satisfied with the size of your drive, don't
rush into buying a new one.
