Go to solution Solved by FireFox,

SATA is the latest, currently we're at SATA III. All of the SATA's are backwards compatible but the others are not because they have different connectors.

 

EDIT: Just had a quick look and it seems that IDE and PATA are pretty much the same thing but like the guy below me said, all you need to know about it SATA3 (I wonder when SATA IV is coming out).

i know what sata is and what ide is. but then there is pata and sas and even ata which looks like ide. i am really confused and i cant seem to find a good explanation about them anywhere on the web so could you please tell me which are which and which are compatible with each other etc.

What? :huh:

 

SAS 12G/s, read up young Padawon : http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Hitachi-Storage-ssd-12gb-sas,15502.html

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

It is out, only really used in super expensive enterprise servers.

 

Also, SAS can be split into multiple SATA links, which is cool for high end raid cards.
