S-ATA (Serial ATA) generation 1 max speed is 1.5Gbits/s

IDE is a connector for P-ATA (Parallel ATA) and has a max speed of 167 MB/s (as far as I can remember)

I just realized that my current OS drive is actually SATA I, Im pretty sure that IDE and 1st gen sata is pretty much the same.

Can someone explain further if im wrong?

(Sorry for typos, im on mobile now need answers)

And 167MB/s is 1.336Gbit/s, so not a large difference.

Thanks for the info, now I know the sacrifice for a larger 320 GB is worth it.

afaik there are other things that make SATA drives perform better than PATA ones.

 

Captain_WD should be able to tell you more

I think SATA has lower CPU utilization and probably lower latency, but I doubt It'd make much of a difference with drives that old.
