SATA is the best there is, I have 2 raptor 36 gigs on stripe (raid 0)
and 1gb ram with a 3400+ amd 64-bit... SATA ROCKS IDE's World...
HARD... Reason one... I used to do IDE RAID 0 on two 7200rpm drives
and installed windows xp in around 15 min.... now I use SATA on
stripe and install win xp... from the blue format screen to the click
here to continue dialog in 6 mins beat that with IDE... YEAH...
SATA ROCKS... NO GIMMICKS AND NO BS... it will rule IDE and SATA2 is
just another step... the MB comapnies need to devise another layout
strategy in order for us to utilize the possibilities of the SATA or
SATA2 at it's full capacity. Im through and I am back to my
system...
It has almost nothing to do with it being SATA and
everything to do with it being a pair of Raptors. It just
happens that the Raptors are SATA interfaced so it's
consequentially important that you be using SATA to get the
desired result.
In other words, take any two average hard drives instead of
the Raptors, and suddenly the main difference in-use
between SATA and PATA is that SATA needs the driver floppy
during Windows' installation.
