question about SATA hd's

[nitenichiryu1]

i was looking into some hard drives for my new system, and i was wondering what the difference is between a SATA interface and a SATA150 interface. can anyone inform my newbie self? thanks a lot.

They're the same (not to mention equally worthless right now, for the most part); SATA 150 is the full name with the 150 MB/s transfer rate quoted in it.

Its not totally worthless, you can get 10k RPM SATA drives but not for IDE PATA

You don't think better airflow through the case is worth having sata drives?

Eh... you can mess around enough with the ribbons (which are more durable anyhow) to get ample airflow, if you're not lazy.

Yeah, but its easier and prettier to use SATA, also cant forget the 10K RPM Drives
