SATA (Serial-ATA) is newer and faster than the Ultra ATA (which, for the most part is a marketing ploy of the acronym ATA). SATA weighs in a 150Mbytes/s burst while the normal ATA hits 133Mbytes/s. In everyday life, the speeds are nowhere near that however SATA is typically faster

Not a problem just note that (as you have prolly figured) the SATA drives have a different power thing on them :)
