They're both fine, but for the same price, logic would tell you to get the bigger one.

Yes, SATA > PATA.

Dewd, #2 is way better. 8meg cache rather than 2meg, 2x drive space, faster interface, better warranty even.

Just check to make sure you can have a SATA drive.

How would you find out if you can or cant have a SATA drive?

You will have SATA controllers on your motherboard. Go to the motherboard mfg's page and see what the board offers.

Serial ATA connectors look like this:



If you have some of these on your motherboard, then get the one on the right. Otherwise, try to find the same drive (the 8M cache is the kicker here...) with a PATA interface.
