What is it ATA or IDE? Run Apple Disk setup program and it shows up as ATA along with SCSI bus.
This is because the IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) is also known as ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) which was originally named for the standard mass storage device bus interface on the original IBM AT computer. The primary advantage of an ATA bus is cost. There's no redundancy: it doesn't have the degree of data availability that you have with others, (SCSI). So there you have it!
