Now to get straight to the point right now i have an Ancient WD 20Gig HDD that makes and absolute racket... it is about the only thing i here with the exception of air rushing through the system. Recently i have started running out of space and said yep this is the time to upgrade.
I am thinking of getting the Seagate 7200.7 drive (just like every other person) however i have heard that there is a difference between the SATA and the PATA versions (ie noise difference). Well how much is the noise difference. Right now my computer is loud enough to be heard while i am trying to go to sleep about 10ft away.
If i get the drive will i notice a speed and noise difference (like something that i cant here while trying to go to sleep). If so i assume that would be the PATA... if i have the money should i go for the SATA version, if i do how much of a difference should i expect?
