My history: I purchased one Ultra ATA drive for a G5 tower before I realized that it takes only SATA internally.
So then, I see this deal on what the posted listed as a Western Digital SATA drive

but when you go to the website, it turns into a Western Digital 300GB Internal EIDE/Ultra ATA Hard Drive.
My question: huh? or better put, is an EIDE/Ultra ATA the same thing as a SATA drive? or, more to the point, will the one on sale at Staples this week work in my G5 tower?
Thanks.
