Sata of course. It is much much better/faster/economical.
Why are companies switching to SATA hard drives?
SATA data transfer is much quicker and reliable for large files and streaming. SATA is approximately 8 x faster than USB 2.0 transfer rates. SATA provides a reliable connection for the hard drive or standard state drive to the main computer/laptop hardware.

How much information can a sata hard drive hold?
A sata hard drive can vary in home much it holds. For the most part it's in gb. The lowest you will see one hold is about 320 or so, and the highest you can see is about 1 tb or even higher.
How much are sata hard drives?
Depends on the hard drive capacity. A typical 500GB hard drive can contain a lot of data. The typical user wouldn't fill that much space. Text documents and even pictures barely can make a dent, operating systems (such as windows vista) take about 10 gb. Hard drives have a pretty much unlimited size at this point, you could make a huge one that holds hundreds of terabytes (1000 gigabytes). a standard hard drive is around $100 and would hold between 300 and 500 gb, depending on the manufacturer and the speed of the drive, the faster you go the more expensive.
Does a hard drive with more memory last longer?
Not necessarily. As a matter of fact, nowadays you can get what are called Solid State Hard Drives, which are quite different from the old school IDE hard drives and the current standard SATA hard drives. I don't know much about Solid State Hard Disk Drives but it is my understanding that they tend to last a lot longer than both IDE and SATA. A 60 GB Solid State hard drive will cost about the same as a 500 GB SATA drive, apparently because they last longer and are better all around.
What are consideration when replacing a hard drive?
What interface it uses. IDE, SCSI, SATA. ect.. How fast does the drive spin? Faster spin rates normally means a faster hard drive. How much cache ram does the hard drive have. Usually more is better there as well. What form factor is the hard drive. Is it for a laptop or Desktop computer? What is the memory storage size of the drive? How long is the Warranty? Is it a brand name? How hard is it to return the drive if it is defective? Do you have to pay to ship it back? Will the hard drive be banged around alot? If so you may want to consider getting a solid state drive. Also called a SSD.
What might the purpose be for a sata?
SATA (Serial ATA) is a type of interface. It's a format of cable and socket that connects hard drives and optical drives to the motherboard. The main purpose of SATA was to provide a faster interface to hard drives to replace the aging ATA interface. It also uses much thinner cables which help with cable routing and airflow. Pretty much every new consumer hard drive uses some form of SATA to connect to the motherboard.
Are the hard drives for laptops the same for Desktop computers?
Laptop hard drives are very similar to desktop hard drives, indeed they work in exactly the same way and even use the same interfaces. However laptop hard drives are designed to be much smaller (2 inches as opposed to 3.5) and draw less power than desktop hard drives. As a result laptop hard drives are usually much slower in terms of data transfer and have much smaller storage capacity than a desktop hard drive of the same year manufacture. With an adapter it is possible to use a laptop hard drive in a desktop computer, and if mounted externally it is also possible to use a desktop hard drive on a laptop.
How much gigabytes does a mini laptop have?
Really, every laptop is different in hard drive capacity. Though, what is quickly becoming the standard is 320 gigabytes of hard drive space. More and more laptops, though, are offering half of a terabyte of hard drive space.
What will happen if a laptop hard drive is reformatted?
not much. The data remains on idsk unless overwritten.refer toWhat_happens_when_you_format_a_Hard_Drive
How do I know whether my computer works with SATA or IDE hard drives?
Open the case and look at the hard disk drive. If it is connected with the gray (typically) 40 pin ribbon cable, it's IDE, if it uses the MUCH smaller SATA cable you'll be able to tell the difference.
