The current SATA standard provides significant benefits over ATA in terms of convenience, power consumption and, most importantly, performance. The main thing ATA has going for it right now is history, as it has been the standard for so long that it will not likely disappear any time soon. - The Article

Please don't say SATA drives offer better performance. That is really misleading, current ATA 100 IDE drives will still perform just like a SATA drive, you won't burst near what is offered in speed. Most of the speed is just PR, You can put every drive side by side they burst the same or near same speed. Heck my old IBM IDE100 drive is faster than my SATA 150 drive.


The bottleneck is still there from old standard, the only real benfit is the others you mentioned, but don't fall for the PR bandwagon of them offering better speed. Smile

Hi markopoleo, welcome... I agree with you, and definitely didn't go for the PR hype in the article. Even though the specs might make you expect 50% improvement going from ATA-100 (100 MB/s) to SATA (150 MB/s) the article does say that "The overall performance increase of SATA over ATA can currently be expected to be up to 5%"

We'll see how it advances though... Grin
