IDE hard disk are more expensive than the SATA hard disk. I'm thinking of buying a SATA hard disk and put a SATA to IDE adapter on it. My only worry is will the hard disk protrude out when this is inserted. Has anyone tried it? The adapter look like this http://tw.page.bid.yahoo.com/tw/auction/c6081...

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm planning to get a SSD but can't find one with IDE interface here. But they still have 80 Gb and 320 Gb WD hard drive.
