Two different interfaces.

One is a Serial ATA interface and costs 89.50 on newegg and the other is a IDE Ultra ATA-133 and cost 85.00. The cheaper one has better rating's. But I was wondering what you highly intelligent folks can tell me about the differences in interface and which one i should go with and why. Please respond asap as I do not know how long the sale will be going on.

Stay away from Samsungs HD, they are quiet but lacks in performance vs seagate, wd, ibm(hitachi) or maxtor.

Save the $4.50 and get the PATA version. ;)
If you get the other and something isn't right, you'll kick yourself.
You should avoid hardware purchases that you're nervous about. After all, YOU are the one who will have to live with your choice... NOT US.
