Parallel and Serial ATA Hard Drives: Full List

The following chart takes all of the tracked Parallel and Serial ATA hard drives and then incorporates them all into a monster chart, which is then sorted by retail price. It's a very extensive list, which gives you all the important price data, and can be a valuable shopping tool for those on limited budgets. This also gives us another way to view the data, and determine how each drive stacks up in terms of price, and then ensuring you make the best use of your gaming system dollar. As with the previous chart, we have replaced the $/GB figure with a SATA/PATA column to ensure there is no confusion about the interface of any drive models.

The overall price chart helps to illustrate where the best deals for each buying segment may exist, and at the sub-$100 range, we are presented with a few interesting choices. PATA buyers should definitely check out the Western Digital SE 200GB model, which just happens to sport a $96 price tag and sits right at the top of the PATA value chart. Those seeking high-end SATA performance at the same budget can choose between the Maxtor DiamondMax 10 160GB and Seagate 160GB 7200 NCQ models. Moving higher on the price list opens the door up quite significantly, but right now, the high-end Maxtor and Seagate SATA models are definitely holding court, while it's tough to ignore the incredible value and performance of the Western Digital SE drives to PATA buyers.
