Got 80Gb 8Mb cache WD 7200rpm ATA100

Doing a fair bit of video editing using Digital-8 camcorder, Firewire connection to Pinnacle Studio 9, have no probs with throughput, no dropped frames, simply want to capture to a different drive with more capacity

Already got DVD-RW and CR-RW on SECONDARY MASTER & SLAVE

Am wanting 250Gb minimum, should I

1 - Another WD IDE with 8Mb cache, PRIMARY SLAVE
2 - Maxtor with 16Mb cache (ATA133 running at ATA100) PRIMARY SLAVE
3 - SATA v1 drive with 16Mb cache
 
My MB supports SATA v1, think it refers to SATA 150MB/s or something, SATA is one of the few things I've never tackled or know anything about to be honest, suppose it would be better for my video editing needs, especially a 16Mb cache drive too
