Hard drive question regarding S2 TiVo

Hello, I'm shopping right now for a hard drive to transplant into one of my S2's to replace its defective HD. I think I read somewhere people suggesting getting a a SATA-to-IDE adapter, but I'm wondering: why bother with that? There are plenty of IDE hard drives for sale on Amazon, so is there any reason I shouldn't just buy an IDE hard drive? (I'm leaning towards Western Digital, as I've had reasonable experiences with that brand.)



Question 2: I'm no expert in all the lingo, but a lot of the drives for sale say they are EIDE, and from my reading, it's very similar to IDE, and mostly compatable. Would EIDE work fine (with no adapters needed) in my old S2 TiVo? Also, I could be wrong, but does EIDE spin faster than regular IDE, possibly generating more heat in the process? If so, maybe for safety sake, I should avoid EIDE?
