  A little OT, curious about PATA, SATA

  Posted by Tom J on July 11, 2005 at 10:05 am

  Hi,
  I’ve noticed for some time now that PATA has been labeled on most HDD’s by Hitachi, Maxtor, etc., and was curious about it’s significance or difference. Because I thought that PATA was just another term or acronym for UDMA or Ultra ATA?

  If not, is the interface or cable different than that of a Ultra ATA 133?

  I am in the middle of changing out the old and into the new on my file server and rendering node. So I thought about going SATA, am I right that it is significantly faster than the PATA models?

  Oh yeah sorry one more thing, what is the server architecture for MOBO’s and HDD’s, something like NCS or NFC? I thought I had seen it referenced here recently but can’t recall what it was?

  Thanks,
  Tom
