SATA: $135 + $50 USB enclosure = $185
or
PATA: $122 + $30 USB Enclosure = $152
Have open ports for both right now. On one hand, i'll probably be using this drive for a while so i'll want something that can be put into a newer system down the road. But it's a $30 difference and other than future compatibility (which shouldnt make a difference with a USB enclosure), it doesnt really benefit me in any other way. Well, i do like SATA because of the airflow thing but i dont know if its worth 30 bucks.
Decisions, decisions...
