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.
