-=PCTechTalk=- Re: ide or sata hard drives?

Matt,
    That's the main difference to most consumers, but there IS more to the 
story.  The link I just sent should help clarify it better.  In the 
meantime, I also want to mention that you'll never notice a difference 
between the two generations of SATA because there are other factors in all 
modern mainboards that prevent real world throughput from going much faster 
than 150 Gbit/sec. anyway.  In time, these bottlenecks will be replaced and 
we'll all immediately feel the difference, as long as we're already running 
SATA 300 Gbit/sec drives.         :O)

Peace,
GMan

The only dumb questions are the ones we fail to ask.
