The new ones are 150GB.

SATA does use different power AND data cables.
SATA (both 1 & 2) has a faster transfer bus than IDE.

how would you be able to put a sata drive in a computer that has IDE?

do u need to change the wires or need a whole new mobo.

Many (if not most) new motherboards support SATA but if you have an older board you could add a PCI SATA host card.
