Sata is more succesptable to corruption than IDE that would be about the only difference i could think of.

well the only two locking SATA ports on EPox are right next to the Graphics card.. which means you might need to mod to use them if your Graphics cooler is too large..
Performance wise.. I would go with the Raptor but in your case.. I vote IDE

This is for a dfi ut nf3 rig not my epox.

Then for the safety of your overclock.. IDE is the only answer...
