Hey guys. Im impressed with my hardrive. Its quiet and fast enough for me. my question is that i have a 2400, and why does maxtor say that is a ATA, and SATA drive when it came with my pc? i thought the 2400 stock model came with IDE or EIDE.

It says that the drive is offered as BOTH ATA/133 and SATA.  Two different interfaces.  You have ATA/133...
