|  Hard Drive Question Is this a good harddrive for the price? I see it says parallel ATA... does my ASUS P5N-D have that kind of cable slot? Is it the same as Serial ATA? I want to replace my 160gb IDE HDD. Thanks! Link: Maxtor DiamondMax 21 500GB Hard Drive - 7200, 16MB, ATA-100, EIDE, OEM STM3500630A at TigerDirect.com
