Dead easy guys..new system, should I go for SATA?

Yes or No should be about the only answers I need...

Airflow not a worry, and we're talking SATA 1 aswell....

Ha...
I take it thaty's a yes then...

*ade goes off to the MM to offer money for a s/hand SATA drive*

Well it seems that I am lucky as I haven't ever had a hd die on me.
SMART reckons my current 160 gig jobby is perfect, and I've had it years!!
It will now go in my music/gaming rig whilst my "work" pc will get a SATA jobby and also a well deserved windows re-install

3dcandy · 27 Apr 2006 at 17:52

SATA Raid is uber pants! its so unreliable its un-true! My friend has SATA raid and it fails on a monthly basis! If you wanna go Raid go SCSI raid!
