Lady Fitz does have a point, in that there are a fair number of old PCs out there which can't handle large IDE drives, or use SATA drives at all. In that case, upgrading the PC can be more practical than upgrading the drive ... and, of course, it's not cheap unless you're in the habit of building your own machines from random cast-offs. Which I've done, but that's not something I'd recommend to the average user. (building a PC from new parts, yes; building one from stray bits, not so much)
