Whats the difference in the 2 hard drives?

UDMA Hard drive and a Eide Hard drive.

Maxtor 6Y080L0 Plus 9 80gb 7200rpm UDMA133 hard drive

Western Digital Caviar 80Gb 7200rpm EIDE Hard drive

Just wondered thats all

I think that this page will explain the UDMA and EIDE Hook :

Serial ATA is the new type of drive which most mobos older than around 24 months cant use and of the earlier ones that could use them they couldnt be used as a boot drive.
Newer mobos can use and boot from them.
They are faster speed in rpm and in data transfer and have a thinner more flexible cable with smaller connectors making them easier to connect if the drive is mounted awkwardly in the case and are easier to move out of teh way when fitting other parts in the pc
