What is an IDE controller?
IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) is a standardized interface for data storage devices in computer systems. It is so named because much of the logic circuitry is integrated into the device itself. IDE is most commonly used for hard drives and CD or DVD drives, but has also been used for tape drives and zip drives. An IDE controller is the primary interface (usually integrated into the motherboard) which any IDE devices will be plugged into. It handles the flow of data to and from these devices. It usually consists of two connections (known as IDE channels) both of which can handle up to 2 devices each. It is also possible to add more IDE controllers in the form of PCI or PCI-E cards, these are usually referred to as IDE controller cards. This is often done to enable more storage devices to be installed into the system, but may also be done to replace an obsolete or malfuntioning on-board IDE controller.

IDE cables are now considered old, having been largely replaced by SATA cables, which connect to newer drives which run at more RPM.
