Is SATA faster than PATA?
The term PATA was actually created to refer to all the old
Parallel drive technoligy, because SATA is supperior. So, the term
PATA was created to cover outdated technoligy and none of the
technology it covers was called that when it was new. We used PATA
as standard since 1994... The original PATA standards transfered
data slower than internet connections do today, had a 650MB limit.
SATA is light speed compared to PATA a paddle boat.
