Looking for ....not high end...high price...but 2x250GB SATA drives that will see me out for a couple of years.

250GB seems to be best priced here in Australia at around USD$76+post.
I'm only presently running a 400DDR Bus on ASUSP4C800-Delux 478Pin

Should I go for SATA2? My mobo doesnt support it yet...but that may change in 12 months time.
Does it live up to it's 300MBps reputation or is that simply hype.

Does 16MB cache make more than a 20% improvement over 8MB?

I presently have 4x250+GB + 20GB + 160GB hard disks running off a 500W generic PS. Every now and again I add a USB cabled HD (hot swap) and whilst unplugging or plugging the molex - a couple of seconds later I freeze - I presume this is 'cause I promoting a ripple or instability in the PS rails that's droping out the system....anyone confirm?
