Parallel
ATA stands for Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment.
It has been the hard disc drive interface for desktop
PCs for over 15 years. Parallel ATA can be found in
desktop PCs, Notebook, Consumer Electronics, and in
some servers today. A new interface, Serial ATA, is
replacing Parallel ATA technology. Serial ATA leverages
the Parallel protocol and enhances it by serially moving
data across a thinner more flexible cable. PATA hard
drives, however, still exist in great numbers within
the market. Until the complete transition from Parallel
to Serial occurs many, many PCs will continue to ship
and use Parallel ATA hard drives.
