Most motherboards support IDE drives as standard.

The link that you supplied indicates that your motherboard will accept both IDE and SATA (Serial ATA) drives. As others have already stated, SATA is the way to go. Do bear in mind, however, what another responder has indicated ... 2 IDE ports shows that you can accommodate 4 IDE drives (optical or hard drives), whereas 2 SATA ports means you can only attach 2 SATA hard drives.
The RAID features of the motherboard indicate that more IDE drives can be accommodated, but these are usually used for 'back up' purposes, though you can work around it to allow yourself more freedom in attaching drives.
I agree with an earlier response, you do have a good system spec there.

SATA is the way to go. Yours has the fast 3.0Gb/s however look carefully.
1 IDE supports 2 drives (2 IDE = 4 Drives)
1 SATA supports ONLY 1 drive
You might want to save the IDE for CD/DVD or other slower media systems.
SATA is same price or cheaper than PATA (IDE)

THe answer is in your comp discription
(IDE Type2 x ATA/133 + 2 x SATA/300 (w/ RAID) Supports RAID 0, 1, 1+0 and JOBD)
It can support Serial ATA which is also know as (SATA) and by the way thats a cool comp

IDE and SATA are pretty much standard fare nowadays. You might not necessarily support the SATA2 standard though.
Judging from the motherboard in that link, serial ATA hard drives would be your best bet both in terms of compatability and speed.

certain! it is going to bigger healthful devoid of any problem. The SATA connectors are similar on all puzzling drives, you dont even ought to favor to "slave" it, you ought to apply CS (cable opt for), in simple terms mark this disc as "non bootable". except you want it besides the computing device, if so > delete the MBR out of your otherchronic and set this one as time-commemorated indoors the BIOS you'll opt for the means cable ( optimum means supplys has it), if not a small $a million.ninety 9 adapter exsist, the thoughts wire is a standart, hit upon it everywhere. an excellent form of the solid rapidly puzzling drives this days are 2.5 inches SATA drives in an staggering "heatsink" that makes them 3.5 inches.

IDE is the standard for all hard drives. Just about every motherboard comes with them. Serial ATA, DMA/ATA and SCSI are more uncommne and not all motherboards support them.
Your new PC will work with IDE guaranteed.

here 2 x ATA/133 + 2 x SATA/300 (w/ RAID) Supports RAID 0, 1, 1+0 and JOBD so just search ATA/133 hard drives ot sata 300 with raid

Your Box would support both ATA (2 Drives) and 2 drives of SATA (Serial ATA ) both are of type IDE. Since, your BOX does not have SCSI interface you would not be able to use SCSI hard-disks.

You can put two ATA and two SATA hard drives in the PC the link goes to. I'd go with SATA myself. Its the newer of the two and the cables are smaller.

You want Serial ATA Drives (SATA) The system has dual SATA controllers for the hard drives, EIDE contoller for the Optical (CD/DVD) drives
