Well... I have a 120GB maxtor... its SATA, its LOUD, DRIVES ME NUTS (see my other thead on more about this)...
My friend borrowed me his 160GB Segate Baracuda, its IDE, its SILENT, you dont even know it on.
He said... Hey wanna switch?
I said I'll think about it.
Now, the big question is...
Keep the Loud (nut driving) SATA?
Drop the SATA for the silent IDE?
The Segate is.. 160GB... so it IS bigger capacity, but the technology is older. I honestly don't see a difference between speeds in IDE vs. SATA... Its what? 2% faster than the IDE?
Any advice would be useful.
