harddrive recommendation

[quanttrade99z]

Hey All,

I managed to build a new computer last year, thanks to all of your help. It rocks, but I need to buy a 2nd harddrive now.

Can you guys recommend one for me? I want to buy about 500G.

Here is my setup:

Motherboard: MB ASUS A8N-SLI Premium NF4 RTL
CPU: CPU AMD 64 |4400+ ATHLON 64 939P RT
Ram: DDRAM 2GB|DDR400 PC-3200 -K RET
Power Supply: POWER SUPPLY ANTEC NEOPOWER480 RTL
Case: CASE ANTEC|P180 RT
Harddrive: HD RT 200GB SEAGATE ST3200822A-RK R

I am especially interested to know what type of harddrive interface I can buy. I can't remember all the jazz about ATA/SATA etc etc now. Thanks for your help, you guys always save me!

I always liked this one.

Not sure about other people though.
Never did get around to buying it though, but my 2x200GB in RAID0 is working out just fine. So untill one of those breaks...

How about this one:

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS (Perpendicular Recording Technology) 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
$99.99


Is it ok that it is SATA 3.0Gb/s, when my exisisting drive is Ultra ATA/100 ?
