I agree with Leif that anyone trying to persuade you to go PATA rather than SATA is simply trying to shift older motherboards that don't support SATA!
I use SATAs in all my machines and favour the Maxtor Diamondmax SATA-300 drives (I have 4 x 300 Gb). They are a bit pricey, but they are so fast I am quite happy to pay extra. However, they can be a bit temperamental and will, from time to time, throw up errors which I have so far been able to fix using chkdsk. I just make sure to keep them regularly defragmented and they work fine.
Cheers
Didi
