Nope. Only if you need more space by running out of ports.

cool so not worth going from regular ata 250gb hd 8mb cache to a 250gb Sata?

Its not worth UPGRADING, but if ur planing on buying a new drive go for the SATA interface for sure.

problem is i already have a 250gb 8meg and just wanted to got 250gb Sata but it seems its not worth it.

Thin cables are good.

It's not worth swapping out a 250gb PATA drive for a SATA drive, but i'd go for SATA for future drives when you need more room.

If you plan on purchasing the upcoming Intel Platform (ICH8 I think) as it lacks ANY PATA (IDE) support. It could be aded via a Controller Chip (much like SATA on some boards) but it's unlikely.

if you are adding an ADDITIONAL 250 gb hd then i would say yes get an sata drive if you already hve the sata ports etc .....but if you are referring to replacing your current 250 gig with an sata, no it isnt worth it..

how many times can you answer the question? ;-)

 

[sportzforlife3]

Go for it.

Put the SATA as your master obviously. I regret not getting a SATA HDD for new my rig

Yea, not worth upgrading to it, but if you're buying a new drive, definitely go with SATA

Not much diferance and some drive models actully work better on PATA than the same model useing SATA.

QFT

The only advatage (other than a longer ecock) is the cables. They are easier to route, look better, and don't hamper air flow as much.
