I just picked up a couple of the seagate 400GB ata drives for a decent price. Going to add them to my htpc. Also they have really cheap Linksys wireless access point $13 and usb wireless adapter $10 if you are looking to add some wireless to your home. (after rebates)

yes I do. This is going to be in addition to my 1.3 TB of current storage.
$300 for .8 TB seemed too good to pass up.
Actually this way I can record tons of TV shows and movies on my PC which I use like a TIVO. And yes, my pron collection has something for every taste at your fingertips
My gf likes the lesbians.

What's the difference between an ata drive and a sata drive?
Does an ata drive just use the ide cable?

Serial vs Parallel connections, and ATAs max out at 133MB/sec burst rates whereas SATAs have a 150MB/sec burst rate but I believe SATA II is double that.

SATA is faster than PATA. PATA is what you're calling ATA. They use different cables and have different connectors. It is up to the motherboard whether your computer supports it or not.

Right.
But that's just burst speed. No ATA drive on the market will ever saturate 133MB/sec of sustained transfers. The nicest improvement in SATA for me was the cable is about 1/8th the size of an ATA/IDE cable.
