CNET editors' buying advice
We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Internal Hard Drives. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of internal hard drive.
Serial ATA-300
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.
