I'm looking to add another HD for storage only. I plan to put all my video files and music on it. I came across this on Newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144392 Even though it is ATA100, at a price of $125.00 I thought it would be a steal. I'm not going to use it as my main drive,so access times and such shouldn't really matter,correct? Or,should I go with original plan of a ATA150 250 gig http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144338 for $93.50? Is 70 gig and a slower interface worth it?

Ah,I missed that ddp...I do have SATA on my motherboard,though (Chaintech VNF4 Ultra). Do you think it is a good deal for how I'm going to use it?

if still have an open ide connector than go for the ata100 for that extra 70gig.
