Ide Vs Sata

Who says IDE is better? The only reason why IDE is even still around is the fact that optical drives haven't made the transition to SATA yet

Everything from configuration to cable management is better about SATA...some people argue that it is unreliable compared to other high speed interfaces (aka SCSI) however it really is the best hard drive interface on the market at the moment
 
SATA is hot swappable, faster, more efficient (NCQ), easier to install.

However HDD's (except 10,000rpm drives) havnt really started to utilise the bandwidth.
