I'm about to get a new hardrive and I'm not sure whether to get IDE or SATA drive. What are the benefits of a SATA drive? I found a couple of posts here, and I see people get happy when they don't use IDE drives - why? Is it just to "save space"? I was comparing almost identical 120 GB Seagate drives, one IDE and one SATA, and they both hade the same 8.5 seak time.
Does it mean that SATA does not make the system faster at all?
