Which is more reliable for you? SATA or IDE harddisk.

Hello,
i believe if you look into it you will find that an IDE drive (PATA) is basically the same hard disk as a SATA. PATA (Parallel ATA) communicates 8 bits at a time to the drive and SATA (Serial ATA) communicates 1 bit at a time. SATA is faster than PATA and if memory servers me correctly it is because PATA has to be able to maintain compatibility with the older PATA hard drives and SATA using higher speed communications chips that are available now.
