There are three types of disk drives. SCSI, ATA/IDE and serial ATA. SCSI is the older type of connection bus for data transfer.
ATA/IDE is the common type of disk drive as used in most all PC and MAC’s up to the MAC G5 and PC’s that are older than 2 years old.
Serial ATA is the latest connect bus that hosts these drives to a computer that has a SATA connection.
Serial ATA is a serial stream of data that is about half again as fast as the parallel IDE bus structure.
DDR memory is called Double Data Rate
