It is not and it is not as reliable yet.
I like the new SATA drives and have really enjoyed working with them.
Much easier to hook up and no fiddling with jumpers.
I just wish MB manufacturers would label in their manuals which is
1-2-3-4-5-6 etc.

SATA=Serial ATA (PATA is parallel).
The new version of SATA has been ratified at 6 gigabits/second (gbs)as
well; no reason to wait for USB3. The new SAS (serial SCSI) is also 6
gbs. How is USB faster?
Thank you,

IDE==ATA==PATA - different from SATA.
But if you can hold out, USB3 should arrive by the end of the year and
will be faster than both.
