i think what he was trying to say is, "is the sata even compatible? and if so, which hdd is better, the sata or eide". I have the same question and any help is appreciated.

i dont believe the motherboard on the xbox was designed for sata drives, they came out after sata was created! to be on the safe side, stick with ide and dont waste your money!
