Best Answer

As far as interfaces goes you have two main types SATA and IDE. SATA being the newer of the technologies and using a small plug type cable to connect to your motherboard, where as IDE uses a wide ribbon type cable to connect to a large slot on the motherboard.

There are two types of SATA as well. SATA-I and SATA-II. SATA-I runs at speeds up to 150mb/s and SATA-II runs ar speeds up to 300mb/s. Most motherboards these days take SATA-II devices (Hard drives, optical drives).

Hope this answers your question.
