Looks like the final nail in the coffin of IDE hard drives.
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 500GB ST3500630A ATA-100 16MB Cache - OEM £145.69
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 500GB ST3500630AS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM £112.79
£32 more expensive for the PATA version. Although the 320GB's are the same price, 750GB PATA is a tenner more, and 400GB PATA are £20 more.
I've moved over from PATA to SATA, only have a IBM 60GB deathstar (still working! in a USB2/Firewire enclosure and WD 80GB that I'm using as the boot drive in my main rig. I only have free slave slot on this rig.
When will the last PATA hard drive be trundled off the production lines? 1GB?
