The Two Types of Hard Drive

IDE Hard Drive manufacturers quote disk capacity in SI-

standard powers of 1000, wherein a terabyte is 1000 gigabytes and

a gigabyte is 1000 megabytes. With file systems that measure

capacity in powers of 1024, available space appears somewhat

less than advertised capacity.

IDE Hard Drive

A SATA hard drive is one which makes use of this newer technology. Many new internal hard drives being produced are SATA. External hard drives may also fit the specifications through the use of eSATA, the related standard for external connectivity. The original SATA standard has up to 1.5 Gbit/s data transfer speeds, while the more recent SATA II option allows 3.0 Gbit/s transfers. There is a new third generation standard, released in 2009, which is known as SATA 3.0 and pushes maximum data transfers up to 6.0 Gbit/s.

IDE Controller

(1) The controlling electronics built into an IDE drive. See

IDE.

(2) The adapter on the plug-in card or motherboard that

connects to the IDE controller. This is technically the IDE

host adapter, but is often called the IDE controller. See

IDE.

Parallel ATA (PATA) is an IDE

standard for connecting storage

devices like hard drives and optical

drives to the motherboard. PATA

generally refers to the types of cables

and connections that follow this

standard.

P-ATA Connector

Serial ATA (SATA or Serial Advanced

Technology Attachment) 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 (the redesignation for

the legacy ATA specifications) used 16 data

conductors each operating at a much lower

speed.

SATA Connector

A power connector is an electrical connector

designed to carry a significant amount of

electrical power, usually as DC or low-

frequency AC. Some types of RF connector

may also carry large amounts of power, but

are considered as a separate category.

Connectors carrying small amounts of power

are known as signal connectors. A

pathalogical fear of plugs is known as

plugophobia.
