EIDE's enhancements to Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) make it possible to address a hard disk larger than 528 Mbytes.
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA)
SATA are usually running in IDE emulation mode ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EIDE is an older legacy connection that supports data transfer speeds of about 133mb/sec. It uses thicker 40-pin ribbon cables. SATA is a newer device technology that connects harddrives with a much smaller cable and supports a lot faster data transfer in the range of 150-300mb/sec. Depending on whether you have SATA-150 or 300. (fightermage)

Why is there confusion about the EIDE and SCSI drive-interface standards?
Why is there confusion between EIDE and SCSI drive interface standards
Name three ways a CD drive can interface with a motherboard?
A CD drive can interface with a mother board using an EIDE, SATA or SCSI interface.
How is a SCSI hard drive similar to an EIDE hard drive?
The purpose of SCSI hard drives are to exchange information between separate computers. Whereas, EIDE hard drives addresses a computers interface between its individual hard drive and its storage disks.
How many pins does EIDE connector?
EIDE cable uses a 40-pin connector at the end of the cable to interface with the drive.
What piece of hardware do EIDE cables connect to?
Typically EIDE cables connect to IDE Hard-drives and optical drives such as CD and DVD Drives. The cable connects between the motherboard of the computer and the hard-drive or optical drive. Normally most motherboards have two idea buses. You can have to drives per cable. So a total of 4 drives.

Will a SATA hard drive be compatilble with a dell insprion 8600?
No, it will not. Inspiron 8600 has EIDE interface, you can check dell website for more information.
Which disk drive standards uses an 80-conductor cable?
The drive interface that uses an 80-conductor ribbon cable is IDE. IDE stands for Integrated Drive Electronics, an interface commonly used to connect hard disks and optical drives to computers.
What standard does an EIDE drive have to follow to connect to an EIDE connector?
ATAPI.
What is the full form of EIDE?
EIDE = Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics.
What technology standard is used to govern how drives such as CD-ROM drives Zip drives and hard drives can interface with a system?
Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics (EIDE)
