Default Looking for External HDD

Since I'm starting fresh with this do you think it's worthwhile to seek
out a case that'll take
SATA drives? How much faster is SATA interface than the current flavor of
ATA interface?
I spent a good bit of time on the ADS technologies website browsing their
products.
Their Dual Link case w/ fan appears to be excelllent except they take use
SATA drives.

I have yet to see a drive that can deliver even half of 400mbs so i doubt
that either usb2 or firewire will make a difference apart from personal
preference.
