'''Parallel ATA''' ('''Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment''') is an older kind of computer connection used to attach data storage devices such as [[hard drive]]s or [[Solid-state drive]]s to the [[motherboard]]. Parallel ATA was priory referred to as [[Integrated Drive Electronics]] It has been almost completely replaced by [[Serial ATA]] (SATA).<ref>http://pcsupport.about.com/od/termshm/g/idecable.htm</ref>

==Advantages==
Parallel ATA was developed and released first (in 1986), it was installed in many computers. Its only lasting advantage to speak of is that it uses less power that its successor, [[SATA]].

==Disadvantages==
Compared to [[Serial ATA]], Parallel ATA offers significantly slower transfer speeds. At first, PATA offered a bandwidth of 16MB/s. Throughout the various versions which came after, the speeds progressed to 33, 66, 100 and finally 133 MB/s. When [[SATA]] was released in 2002, it offered a net bandwidth of 150MB/s. It was then upgraded to 300MB/s.<ref>http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/silicon-image-brings-virtualization-esata,1610-2.html</ref>
