feels like it) Its a SATA.....<br>
<br>
Now need to get a new one, Whats the best way to go.<br>
<br>
Speed Vs Size Vs Cost Vs Reliability....<br>
<br>
meaning<br>
<br>
SATA Vs PATA Vs USB Vs NAS<br>
<br>
Also need to upgrade that machine upstairs running Myth on a 40Gig<br>
Disk which only takes PATA (Not SATA)<br>
<br>
Any suggestions which way to go?<br>
<br>
