1. ATA
Most types of drives used by computer users type, Almaty (or better known as IDE drives). ATA is based on the type of standards in 1986, the use of 16-bit parallel, and continue to grow, additional speed and size of the disk. Ultimate criterion is the Alma-Ata 7 for the first time in 2001, introduced T13 Committee (the committee responsible for determining the standard ATA).Type of Almaty – 7 with a data transfer 133 MB / sec. Later in the year 2000 set the standard for the Parallel ATA has a data rate of 133 MB / sec, parallel ATA, but there are many signals on the issue of thymine, electromagnetic interference (interference electromognetic) and intergitas data. Then, the industry to solve these problems caused by the parallel ATA, and create a new standard called Serial ATA (SATA).
Almaty (Advanced Technology Attachment) using 16-bit parallel is used to control computer equipment, and has been used more than 18 years of standards. The difference between SATA and ATA is the most simple data and power lines are different.
ATA standards, such as Western Digital 200GB model, there is a two-inch ribbon cable and 40-pin data connections and the need to 5V for each pin 4-pin connection. At the same time, such as SATA 120 GB Western Digital model, there is one and a half-inch wide, 7 interface, so the data connection thinner, more easily managed data kebel. SATA data cable the maximum length of 1 meter (39.37 inches) longer than the Alma-Ata, only 18 inches.
