Hasn't anyone noticed? Most retail computer hardware stores, are selling hard drives using the IDE Specification. It's extremly compatible, but many people have SATA and don't know it. I currenlty am using IDE, but I wish I had an SATA drive. A guy told me when he went to Staples, all he could find was IDE drives and 1 SATA model.
