How do PATA drives function? What variations are there? Are they still in use today?
PATA disks use a parallel interface, meaning several bits are passed through the cable at once.
PATA cables are wide as a result, supporting either 40 or 80 lines, depending on the variety.
They are a bit outdated, but still in use today, particularly in CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives.
