Using 2.5" laptop HDD...ATA-6 or SATA? Can I use either
Is there a adapter from IDE 3.5" to both ATA-6 or SATA? If so, will spindown be a problem with either one, or both?

The 320GB HDD's I have access to are SATA. SATA is also the more popular HDD in the 250GB configuration as well.

Sorry for the newb questions.

[PH] Spindown issue will be the same regardless SATA/PATA or 2.5/3.5".
