SATA, or Serial ATA is the current popular choice of hard drive interface for desktop systems. SATA-300 is the current standard, and is capable of transferring 300 Megabytes per second. While SCSI drives are capable of faster transfer speeds, the drives, bus controller, and cables are much more expensive, relegating their use to servers and applications where transfer speed is an absolute must. Note that if you are shopping for an upgrade to a system that is a couple of years old, it may not support SATA-300, and not operate at it's full potential. If it is any older than that, it may not support the SATA standard at all, and you should check your system's specifications for details.

Patriot Warp V.2 (128GB) Reviewed on 11/18/2008

The Bottom Line: The inexpensive price of the Patriot Warp V.2 helps it stand out among solid-state hard drives, but its performance shows few significant benefits over normal hard disks. You'd be better off buying a fast 7,200rpm laptop hard drive or selling your firstborn to invest in the Intel X-25M SSD.

Intel X-25M solid-state drive (80GB) Reviewed on 10/08/2008

The Bottom Line: Intel's X-25M solid-state hard drive enjoys several advantages over both spinning disk drives as well as other SSDs, including improvements to data throughput, boot time, and laptop battery life. Its one drawback is that it's pricier than even its other solid-state competition, but if you can forget about its cost, this is by far the fastest data drive available.
