im going to be buying a 200GB maxtor with the 16mb cache in a few days, im just wondering if its worth the extra $20 to go for SATA. the PATA versions are ATA 133, and the serial ATA are SATA150, not much of a performance gain. which drives are more likely to be nearer their max speed more of the time, and is it worth $20 that i can spend somewhere else?
