Sata worth it or not?

[TC1]

I am just about to buy a Samsung Hard drive for an external enclosure i am thinking of getting. Before i go ahead and buy everything should i go Sata or IDE? Any benefits with either? Looking for a 300+ Hard drive. Need to store videos and pics of my baby.

Ok, good advice. Thanks.

Still a bit unsure. My mobo takes Sata. Looking for an enclosure too. Icy-Box look great. Any recommendations?

The first one look great. What do you mean, you have to take it apart to change from sata to USB connection?
