me is buying a hardrive

[_-playero-_]

I don't wanna go into much detail downloading SiSoft Sandra or any sh*t because I'm a lazy f*ck, or maybe i'm just high enough now.

 

I know from memory the the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller says "Ultra ATA Intel® 8280 something"

 

So my point is I don't want to f*ck up by buying a SATA hardrive which won't work. So what should I look at?

 

In other words? What interface?

 

*in case you need me to give more info just tell me.

 

Just because I'm a cool guy, and because the effect of whatever I took is over, I'm remaking my post.
