Hi everyone

I need to buy an external hard drive.I'm living in Italy,the enclosure (the best what I found ) pleiades.
The question is wich one.
ATA or SATA?????????
Makes really different for us (for music) or the ATA is more than sufficent????
And wich ATA drive???????The cache is important????
The difference of the price beetwen the ATA and SATA it's not that much.


I dont use to much of tracks,max 40.I'm composing,I'm not a sound engenier.


Thanks a lot guys

Pleiades (I have 5 of them) and the like are reliable, my only remark as I said is their tendency to amplify any noise from the drives. But they have no fan

if you can show me where you plan to buy them I could look at the alternatives.
