sata or ide

sata's interface is a little faster. ata133 has a max throughput of 133MB/s while sata150 has a max of 150MB/s and sata300 being even faster.
 
hdds hardly ever use the bandwisth afforded to them anyway. Sata300 has other features that give it appeal.
The ide's again have a decent amount of bandwidth, but its shared over to drives (if you put 2 on the same channel). Sata only allows 1 device per channel.
