SATA or PATA

[alexjems41]

I prefer to use SATA because SATA is capable of data burst rate of upto 150 MB/s whereas PATA can deliver only upto 133 MB/s speed.As speed matters for me So I use SATA.

Serial ATA (SATA) is a computer bus interface for connecting host bus adapters to mass storage devices such as hard disk drives and optical drives. Serial ATA was designed to replace the older ATA (AT Attachment) standard (also known as EIDE). It is able to use the same low level commands, but serial ATA host-adapters and devices communicate via a high-speed serial cable over two pairs of conductors. In contrast, the parallel ATA used 16 data conductors each operating at a much lower speed.
SATA offers several compelling advantages over the older parallel ATA (PATA) interface: reduced cable-bulk and cost (reduced from 80 wires to seven), faster and more efficient data transfer, and hot swapping.
The SATA host adapter is integrated into almost all modern consumer laptop computers and desktop motherboards. As of 2009, SATA has mostly replaced parallel ATA in all shipping consumer PCs. PATA remains in industrial and embedded applications dependent on Compact Flash storage although the new CFast storage standard will be based on SATA

Speed Is My Pick So I'm SATA

You people provide good discussion about SATA and PATA. I am not to aware with this terms. You have provide nice knowledge about these matter. You people also discussed about the speed as well perfomance of it. It is really good for knowledge of mine.

SATA is much better because the cables that connect the drives are smaller versus the tick grey ribbons that connect the IDE drives. Reduced size of the wires allows more ventilation therefore processors and RAM perform in a faster manner. With SATA you get the ability to hot swap drives. You have the option of pulling your drive from your machine and replace it with a different disk without restarting your computer.

i always prefer sata because sata have large space and fast working.

People don't see many IDE computers/servers/laptops anymore BUT SATA is so much better I like it more and more each day!

You would belike require SATA because all the new drives are locomotion on it. You can judge drives to bomb, and PATA drives are right senior so they are author promising to fail. Use Maraud to protect your systems from unfilmed failures, and backups to protect them from aggregate unfortunate or new scathe.

Now the technology runs on SATA not anymore on PATA. SATA is more faster.
