I'm not sure I understand the question, are you saying going from a laptop 2.5"
ATA (ie. PATA or IDE) to a desktop SATA?
Not always an apples to apples conversion. Many (most?) laptop drives are
5400rpm (some older drives are even 4300) while many (again most?) desktop
drives are 7200rpm. Random reads on a 7200rpm drives will be much faster.
I'd venture to say that in most cases you'll see a larger speed bump going from
a 5400rpm drive to a 7200 because its the seek speed that is lacking not
transfer rate.

But have you compared with a laptop that has a 2.5" ATA drive? Going
from
my desktop to my laptop, I notice a very large drop in disk access
speed.
