what is the sata, ata,pata hdd what difference among this?which is better?
Seems confusing, huh? Perhaps this will clear part of it up.
IDE, ATA and PATA are saying the same thing. This link will give you more info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Drive_Electronics
(It went from Integrated Drive Electronics to Advanced Technology Attachment to Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment. ( IDE>ATA>PATA) PATA was brought about so that there was no confusion with SATA. Serial ATA.
Sata harddrives are infinitely more better. MUCH faster!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SATA
Edit: Something to note should you buy a Sata harddrive.
1.Make sure your motherboard has Sata headers! (Connectors) If not, you'll have to buy an IDE to Sata adapter card.
2.NEVER plug one of the four pin Molex power connectors into a Sata HDD. Sata has it's own 7 pin connector! Has a 15 pin interface cable. Plug the four pin Molex power connector in, and the Sata 7 pin power connector, and watch your Sata HDD go up in smoke! (Least worst case scenario, is that the Sata HDD won't operate right. Leave it plugged in this way though, and Poof!)
3.Looking for a HarDDrives performance abilities is looking for it's Spindle Speed, Seek Time, and Buffer size. Buffer for an HDD is the cache for it. Just like the L2 cache for a processor. (This is a bit of misinformation as processors have L1, L2, and L3 cache for some of them.) The larger the buffer size, the faster the harddrive will retrieve data. Good harddrives have at least 16MB's of buffer size. GREAT harddrives have 32MB's of buffer size. Average spindle speed is 7,200 rpm's. Unless you're a VERY serious gamer you won't need a 10,000 or 15,000 rpm spindle speed. (Western Digital Raptor, and VelociRaptor for example.)
