Conclusion:

I believe the tests speak for themselves, and whilst these test results can only be seen as true for these particular ASUS models, and not for all brands that offer both IDE and SATA drives, it clearly shows that this SATA drive has a more reliable transfer rate, which will equate to more reliable discs and faster read/write times.

The only flaw the SATA drive may have is that some older motherboards won’t support using the SATA drive with bootable CDs, such as Windows CD/DVDs. So if you buy one, it couldn’t hurt to keep an old IDE drive around just in case you need it, newer motherboards should not have this issue.
