Does CPU affect disk access times? I need deep explaination to prove im right to my dad

Not directly, no. Not since the says of PATA.

I suppose if you were to hit the CPU with an excess of computational tasks, you could in theory reach the number of requests it can simultaneously handle, but I don't see that happening under any reasonable conditions.

It depends on the particular application and use of the system. However, the general answer is yes. Hard drives sequential performance has increased by about 5x in the last 20 years or so. Their random performance is maybe 3x better. In the same time, CPU performance has increased by roughly 80x. The HDD performance will continue to only marginally improve while CPU performance will continue to increase at vastly higher rate.

If PATA, theres is connection, If SATA?

When addressing SATA, you're not likely to find a normal circumstance where the throughput/computation of your CPU is going to limit your storage solution.

In other words, If SATA, then no.
