From the current system specs you have I doubt you would be SATA compatible. From personal experience I would either go with Samsung. I have good experiences with Samsung drives both SATA and ATA, and bad experiences with WesternDigital and Maxtor.
Good Luck.
Just out of curiousity...Quote:

For over a year now Microcenter has been selling Spinpoints very cheap.
We've seen an inordinate number of failures but I can't tell if this is a quality issue with Samsung or just a byproduct of the OEM packaging (an antistatic bag) and mishandling in the store (the drives are just piled in a bin). At any rate, it's enough to put me right off Samsung drives.
This is my HD, :dabs:Quote:

Yes, that's a double affirmative on IDE.
I think we need pics from different angles to positively confirm the interface.
Till then I'll withhold my opinion.:frusty:
