	Advanced Technology Attachment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This may be attributed to the two technologies being introduced with the same consumable devices, these "new" ATA hard drives.
		ATA devices have suffered from a number of "barriers" in terms of how much data they can handle.
		Until the introduction of Serial ATA, 40-pin connectors generally attached drives to a ribbon cable.

		ATA is an interface standard that lets hard drives or other ATA- compatible storage devices communicate with the rest of the computer.
		ATA is far and away the most popular drive interface standard used in consumer PCs, with competing technology, such as SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), trailing far behind in terms of market share.
		ATA must always evolve to keep up with advances in hard drive speeds and capacities, and the current ATA standard being finalized at the time of this writing is ATA-6.

	ATA - Advanced Technology Attachment
		ATA defines the physical, electrical, transport, and command protocols for the internal attachment of storage devices.
		AT Attachment A popular 16-bit interface standard that extends the ISA bus of the IBM PC-AT to attach peripherals; it has evolved through over 5 generations; the original ATA is better known as IDE.
		ATA was designed to replace the earlier ST506 and ESDI drives without requiring replacement of the AT BIOS— hence, AT attachment.

	PIN-OUT: ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) Internal
		With the introduction of Serial ATA in 2003, the original ATA was retroactively renamed Parallel ATA (PATA).
		Parallel ATA standards only allow cable lengths up to 18 inches (up to 450 mm) although cables up to 36 inches (900 mm) can be readily purchased.
		There is therefore no point in the ATA protocols in which one device has to ask the other if it can use the channel.

		An acronym for "Advanced Technology Attachment Packet Interface." A high-speed interface protocol that is considered a subset of the SCSI standard.
		ATAPI (AT Attachment Packet Interface) is an extension to EIDE (also called ATA-2) that enables the interface to support CD-ROM players and tape drives.

		ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) and IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) both refer to disk drive designs that integrate the controller into the drive to reduce the interface cost and to ease firmware implementation.
		AT Attachment Packet Interface (ATAPI) is a standard for devices such as CD-ROM drives and tape drives, which specifies an interface that is compatible with ordinary ATA (IDE) port.

		It replaces the Ultra ATA/100 interface (otherwise known as the latest-generation Parallel ATA interface) —; which is used to connect most PCs to their primary storage, and which has now become a bottleneck because it has reached its maximum burst data transfer rate speed of 100 MB/sec.
		Serial ATA, on the other hand, has a burst data transfer rate speed of 150 MB/sec in its initial iteration and is expected to double in speed roughly every three years — to 300 MB/sec in 2004, 600 MB/sec in 2007, and so on.

		SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) is basically an interface used to connect hard drives and other peripherals to PC.
		Their goal is to introduce an interface that has the ability to overcome the limitations that current PATA (Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment) holds and to eventually replace them.
		The long lived parallel ATA (PATA) have existed for nearly 20 years and has come to a surprise that serial is the replacement for parallel since serial was at one point in the past, considered obsolete.

	Disk I/O Tuning Disk Interfaces Advanced Technology Attachment Packet Interface Serial ATA SATA
		Serial ATA is a serial link -- a single cable with a minimum of four wires used to create a point-to-point connection between devices.
		One of the main design advantages of Serial ATA is that it has thinner serial cables that facilitate more efficient airflow inside a form factor and also allow for smaller chassis designs.
		Essentially ATA allows two devices per ATA connector that are configured in a standard Master-Slave setup, while SATA only allows a single device per connector.

	ATA Bus Description, with IDE Pin Out with Signal Names
		The Serial ATA: which replaced the ATA bus is listed on its own page.
		Serial ATA is not compatible with the IDE [Parallel ATA] because the connectors are different, the voltage levels are different, and data format is different [SATA sends a bit at a time while PATA sends 16 bits at once].
		Keep in mind that the Parallel ATA [PATA] Bus is being replaced by the Serial ATA: [SATA] bus.

	ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) Definition
		Stands for "Advanced Technology Attachment." It is a type of disk drive that integrates the drive controller directly on the drive itself.
		The motherboard must still support an ATA connection, but a separate card (such as a SCSI card for a SCSI hard drive) is not needed.
		Sometimes (to add extra confusion to people buying hard drives), ATA drives are labeled as "IDE/ATA." Technically, ATA uses IDE technology, but the important thing to know is that they refer to the same thing.
