It's ATA/100, not SATA.

Website and .pdf read 6-12 to 6-18 here. I really dont care about an ATA drive though, why are they still pushing these so hard?

ATA??:thumbsdown:

Damn, and I got my hopes up thinking it was SATA... sigh.

The title IS misleading, but c'mon, honestly ATA/100 is fine for long term storage. 55¢/gig seems pretty decent to me for this size of a drive. Although, I'm still holding out for the terrabyte HD.

edit: not to mention that it's Seagate.

 

[fleshconsumed]

It's fine for storage as long as you have only one drive. I currently have three IDE drives along with two optical drives, five IDE devices in total, and managing those stiff round cables is a bitch. Plain 80pin cables are even worse. I can't imagine adding another IDE drive inside my rig, that would totally kill any airflow left in my case.

best part about seagate retail hard drives - you can exchange in store for the 5 years....

They are pushing them because Seagate made a bunch of them and no one wants to buy them. Everyone wants SATA at this point, but Seagate had to make ATA due to major distributors like Dell, HP, and Sun Microsystems because some of their motherboards still do not support SATA.

can you really exchange in the store within 5 years? if you're not kidding, i'm going to exchange one for SATA... pay the extra, i think it's worth it?
