I'm looking into buying a Samsung SP. 160GB is the top capacity for a SATA150 (I don't have a SATAII capabile MOBO - I don't need SATA II anyway).
I want a bigger HD - atleast 200GB - and the only solution at this time is a PATA 200GB.
So, should I get the PATA 200 or look for another 200GB SATA HD?
I know that SATA cable is smaller but I could get a round IDE cable that would look just as clean. I already have a 160GB SATA WD that I'm RMA it because it's full of bad sectors.
And another thing, is screwless mounting a HD dangerous for an intensive use?
