 | | Serial ATA is not compatible with the IDE [Parallel ATA] because the connectors are different, the voltage levels are different, and data format is different [SATA sends a bit at a time while PATA sends 16 bits at once]. |  | | The 68-pin connector is the same used by PCMCIA, and allows the device to be compliant with PC Card ATA mode. |  | | The 40 pin ATA connector pinout and cable pinout is shown above. |

 | | SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) is basically an interface used to connect hard drives and other peripherals to PC. |  | | The SATA uses a serial signaling technology whereby there exist 2 channels within the cable, with 2 wires for each channel. |  | | When comparisons are made between the serial technology and the parallel technology, for Read/Write Speeds and Random Access Time, they end up being quite similar, on average. |
