IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) devices such as hard drives and DVD drives use this old flat cable type (PATA = Parallel AT Attachment).
These are now generally replaced by SATA (Serial AT Attachment), which exploits improved data controller speeds. See PATA in wikipedia.
SCSI cables for multiple devices can be flat as well.
