I always use IDE drives (on my older computers). I'm also familiar
with SCSI drives and the extremely outdated MFM drives. Lately I have
been looking for a deal on a smaller (80 to 160gb) drive and I keep
seeing SATA drives listed. WHAT ARE THEY? Are they just designed for
the newest computers, or what? Is there soma advantage to them over
IDE or SCSI drives?
Where "PATA" refers to "Parallel ATA", "SATA" refers to "Serial ATA". The
data cables are not the 40/80 wide cables included with PATA/IDE drives.
Counter question: Is Google broken?
