 IDE (PARALLEL ATA) OVERVIEW
The IDE/ATA interface has long been the most popular storage media connection. As the digital world has migrated to serial interfaces, so goes the ATA interface rapidly being replaced by the higher speed Serial ATA (SATA). However, many legacy designs still call for ATA storage. At STEC, we are committed to providing new, evolving, and high-performance solid state drive designs based on the ATA interface.
