[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 516843, member: 24098"] They are two different interface types, with SATA being the newer style. PATA/ATA/ATA-100/ATA-133/Parallel/40-pin, etc is the older style (I like to use the term "Parallel ATA"). You can mostly use any older drive with a 40-pin connector with an enclosure that claims to support ATA. SATA/SATA150/SATA2/Serial ATA, etc is the newer style. Anytime you see that 'S' before the ATA, it means that it's the newer style of interface. [/QUOTE]
