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

I found it ,this one
www.mapower.com.tw/mapower/Product.asp?CateID=128&LineID=10

with Oxford and seagate barracuda IDE drive.I figured out with normal firewire 400 port I can record 28 tracks in the same time.I never gonna do it, max 8.Sata without sata card is the same like IDE because the firewire port.I don't make video so this is more than enough for me.
Doesn't make any difference to spend the money.

Thanks a lot the help.
