re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

Difference between IDE (PATA) and SATA in accordance with transfer rates IDE transfers data from the speeds of 5MB/sec up to 133MB/Sec (ATA100/133). SATA however data transfer speeds range from 150MB/sec to SATA II which doubles it to 300MB/sec. SATA cable is smaller, faster. sexier and therefore better. It can reach further then a IDE cable and will also reduce the obstruction to air cooling which IDE cables can contribute to. The cables also transfer data much faster (more crucial if you have two or more hard drives) and are easier to install since there are no jumpers. The only downfall of the SATA is that they easily fall out of their positions and that you can only have one drive per cable.

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

SATA is a Serial connection which means that it transfers data one bit at a time to the MB

PATA is a Parallel connection which means that it transfers multiple bits at a time to the MB

PATA is no longer relevant, however, they are in use in older computers.

An Answer Please
Sorry I Have Not Solution,Can Anyone Answer

(You certainly can use both. You may need to make a change in the BIOS set-up if you need to change which disk you boot from, but you can use PATA and SATA at the same time. What's more you can use multiple of each type. -PZ)

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

the correct question should be: "SATA vs. PATA"... not "SATA vs. IDE". SATA is also IDE. SATA - Serial (Advanced Technology Attachment). PATA - Parallel (Advanced Technology). Both are IDEs. SATA has faster rate than PATA. Again, the question is 'SATA vs PATA'. Not 'SATA vs IDE'. Please use correct computer terms. Grow up, computer geniuses!

(Thank you. -PZ)

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

The difference between sata and pata is there data speed and sata easy to configure. in sata the pins are 7 pin connector but in pata the pins are 40 pins connector.

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

Um, are you guys all trolling? There is no comparison between the two. IDE was superseded by SATA way back in 2003. It is much faster. A ten second search on Wikipedia will tell you this.

I know this was posted in 2007, but even then IDE was being phased out in favour of SATA.

SATA vs IDE

I much prefer SATA over IDE.. The reason for this is to do with installing the hard drive. IDE cables are more cluttered and get in the way. SATA is so much cleaner and they are also faster than their IDE counterparts. Check http://www.computer-hardware-explained.com/sata-vs-ide.html for more info...

SATA vs. IDE?

Ide is good as it uses more signal voltage
data loss can occur in sata
motherboards works better on ide now.
may be this scenario change afterwards.
speed is not good with data loss.
My vote to IDE

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

I would consider serial data to be in line as like soldiers marching through a narrow gorge, whereas parallel of IDE is more like broad walking through wide streets of soldiers.

Great post guys, learned alot! After reading all of these posts, I've made up my mind, I will keep my IDE drives and migrate to SATA as this is the new standard.

As a value investor, I see now need to buy SATA drives when migrating my old 7200 rpm IDE drives to a new motherboard.

One last comment, after reading the posts on this web site I'm convinced that at least half fo the people posting are from India the home of the IT specialist.

SATA/IDE?

It is a mind set of technological transfer,on my perspective i think that both should be using concurrently so far as most of main board manufacturers keep proving both ports available, one can now make use of his/her own chioce. on the speed aspect both are same.

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

Serial ATA (SATA) is an IDE standard for connecting devices like optical drives and hard drives to the motherboard. The term SATA generally refers to the types of cables and connections that follow this standard.
SATA cables are long, thin, 7-pin cables. One end plugs into a port on the motherboard, usually labeled SATA, and the other into the back of a storage device like a hard drive.

Serial ATA replaces Parallel ATA as the IDE standard of choice for connecting storage devices inside of a computer. SATA storage devices can transmit data to and from the rest of the computer over twice as fast as an otherwise similar PATA device

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

SATA is nothing more than a marketing move. It is only slighlty faster than IDE because most manufacturers now concentrate much more on SATA optomizations than IDE. There was no need for SATA. PATA was doing a great job, just like there was no need for PCI-E. For SATA to transfer as fast as PATA, the data has to go several times faster than PATA. Faster data transfers have more chance of errors. If they made PATA data travel down each wire just half as fast as SATA, than PATA will blow away SATA. All this talk about 3Gb/s is worthless, since the actual data transfer speed that is really relevant is from disc surface to motherboard or vice versa. The speed mostly quoted by manufactureres is the data transfer speed between the buffer memory on the hard disk and the PC motherboard. The most important factor to drive transfer speeds, whether SATA or PATA, is drive rotational speed. If you want a fast drive, get one with a fast rotational speed. Current normal rotational speeds = 7200rpm. You will pay extra and get less capacity with a faster drive, but, it will truly be faster. Check out WD Raptor series which have rotational speeds of 10000rpm.

PATA 2.5 Can't be placed on a desktop
SATA speed better
SATA 2.5,SATA 3.5,use same cables
SATA cables weight less
and SATA ports looks a lot better than pata ports

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

To answer your question as asked:

>>> "What is SATA vs. IDE?" <<<

The question is quite simply asking the following, but has been poorly punctuated:

What is "SATA vs. IDE"?

Clearly "SATA vs. IDE" is just a simple phrase that has been taken from a computer technology conversation or writing, and contains no contextual references as to origin.

If one wanted to get really pedantic and grammatically precise, then one could also answer that it is a phrase containing two acronyms and one Latin abbreviation.

The word "acronym" is derived from the Greek words "akros", meaning "outermost", and "onoma", meaning "name", and has come to refer to the practice of only using the initial letters of each word from a name and using the letters together as an abbreviation. e.g. Serial Advanced Technology Attachment = SATA.

(Incidentally, the abbreviation "e.g." is truncated from the Latin phrase "exempli gratia" which has come to mean "for example").

You will find a great test for your knowledge of computer acronyms here:
http://www.plentysmart.com/comp/gen-acronyms/gen-acronyms.php

The abbreviation "vs" is from the Latin word "versus", which literally translated means "against". It is sometimes also abbreviated "v".

I hope this accurately answers your question. Ignore all the babbling half-wits who obviously did not take the time to read your question properly, but you should also take some of the blame for the superfluous postings due to your poor punctuation.

(Is that you Matthew? -PZ)

(That's partly my fault for not making it clear from the start that both ATA and SATA are different forms of IDE. But there really is a lot of urban myth isn't there. -PZ)

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

noobs...IDE is the first interface standard for hard disk and SATA is currently the latest. Of course IDE is no match against SATA

(IDE is by no means the first. There were a few before that, including SCSI. -PZ)

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

Serial data transfer is 1 bit at a time. Parallel is 32 or 64 bits at a time. You do the math. Imagine if your computer used serial data transfer instead of the 64 bit buss that is used today? It would have to run 64 times faster. What is faster? Now think about that. SATA allows hotswappable. As for IDE, depends on the interface that is used. Now what about the cost? That is easy to find out by pricing them on the Internet.

(You need to read up on this subject MS. Your argument doesn;t hold water. Check Wikipedia. -PZ)

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

I can not compare between Sata and ID . Because Sata is to faster to ID in pajistan

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

SATA is more faster then IDE bcoz advance technology use on SATA an my faver invent him.

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

I had to laugh at everyones posts speculating the answer.. because I am a nice bloke I will answer this.

Simply put.

it is not SATA and IDE, it is SATA and PATA which are both IDE.

Yes physically SATA is nicer to install with a smaller cable.

Yes SATA is faster than PATA. But remember it is the BUS system between the hard disk and the IDE Controller. The hard drive is the same on both. IF your hard drive is fast than it can take advantage of the bandwidth.

The other advantage is its 1 drive per connection, its not sharing bandwidth on a cable with a second drive.

And hot swapping is a feature offered by the RAID controller on the motherboard, its not a SATA thing.

SATA will replace PATA as its nicer to use, and its faster. the Hard Disk that connects to this interface will not change.

You will notice this on DVD drives now also available in a SATA version.

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

SATA is faster than IDE becouse cyril communication

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

Nice analogy with the cars there but it also points out a fatal flaw with serial interface - If one cars breaks down, all that follow will be stuck.

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

What a horrible "insight" to SATA. Really? There isn't much difference between SATA and IDE? How did you come to such an uninformed conclusion?

SATA has an amazing transfer rate, the closest in comparison to SCSI for home use.

Please disregard this post. It's safer to simply do your own research.

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

SATA is useless, it may have a massive transfer speed, but hard-drives can only read/write to a portion of the speed (around 90mb/s). Although it is alot tidier due to the small wires.
For SATA to be faster, use RAID 0, as the transfer speed is affectively multiplied by the number of Hard Drives in the setup.
I myself use both: IDE for operating system, and SATA for everything else.

Why would you use the hood of a car to spell a message? jeez.

but Its Really Cool

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

sata is better than ide

why serial is faster than parallel

In response to Fred.... while the PZ comment corrects your mistake about serial vs parallel, it does not explain why serial is faster than parallel. The short answer is that as connections get faster, parallel-data-synchronization becomes a bigger problem than modulation speed. Let me offer an analogy to explain:

Imagine there are 16 routes from Chicago to New York, whose total travel time is about 20 hours with a variance of 4 hours. We are going to send sets of cars from Chicago to New York, and we're going to write letters on their hoods which spell a message. In order to properly spell the message, we need to know which cars left together. If we're only sending one set of cars per day, this is really easy, because even if the difference between the fastest car and the slowest is 4 hours, we will have no trouble distinguishing one day's cars from the next days.

However, imagine when we speed up the rate at which we send cars, so we are sending every 2 hours. The fact that they are all taking different routes means they are all getting mixed up. When they arrive at the other end, it's hard to know which cars left together to recover our message. This is like a parallel connection.

Now imagine we send all cars down exactly the same route. If one car gets backed up, other cars in line also get backed up. Now we no longer have any data synchronization problems. In fact, we can send one car a minute, and as long as everyone stays in line, we have no trouble figuring out what order they left in and we can recreate our message.

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

So IDE (the old flat grey cables) transfer at 133 mb/s max you say, where as SATA transfer at 150 mb/s and the projected future for them was or is 600 mb/s what are the drives that transfer at 3 gb/s? and how do i identify the correct cableing for such an item?

(Ask the computer shop to supplyn the cable with the drive. -PZ)

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

To my mind the whole SATA idea is a bit of a myth. Can anyone explain how a serial (one way) connection could possibly be faster than a parallel (two way) connection? In parallel communications the data send/stop bits can travel back and control the data flow which then can be instant and non-stopping; in serial communications you have one way traffic, backwards or forwards so to send the stop/go bits you need to stop data transfer to send back. I remember when this came out and it sounded like those things they sell car enthusiasts people to get a mythical 1% more power from their hotted up engine!

(Parallel means that there are multiple channels working in parallel. It doesn't mean two-way, which serial can be just as easily. -PZ)

re: What is SATA vs. IDE?

-SATA is faster than PATA.(up to 3.5ghz)
