It's pretty old but its SATA. It was bought back when 250 gb cost as much as over 1 tb costs today so that might give you some idea of its age.

You can tell this guy buys whatever is the most expensive and thinks he's pro.

well my main concern was the new mobo, not having IDEs, but my second concern was drive speed/space. wouldn't it be better to save the space for a better drive? its old and keeping it external would mean easy to remove once it dies, or you get a larger external drive... you will hardly be using it at all anyways, just storage or pulling old files that you haven't transferred over from the old system. a $10 enclosure would work fine for that.

I have plenty of space in my case but yeah, maybe I'll just wipe the drive and give it to someone in the family after I transfer all my files.
I don't do any video editing, graphics rendering or anything that would make use of the hyper threading in an i7 so I was told that there's no point in buying one, an i5 would serve me just fine for gaming.

I'm just giving him crap because he did the exact same thing on my thread where I stated I got the i5-2500k instead of i7.
