ATA-3 introduced S.M.A.R.T.
A parallel ATA connector can use one data cable for two drives.
S.M.A.R.T. was introduced in ATA-3. along with 44 pin connector for 2.5" drives.

SCSI
There are many different interfaces used. For internal hard drives, older drives use/used PATA (Parallel ATA, originally just called ATA, and commonly referred to as IDE). Newer drives generally use SATA (Serial ATA). For external drives, connections include USB (1.0, 2.0, and 3.0), eSata, and Firewire (IEEE 1394).
The ATA standard that uses a serial cable is SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment). SATA is used for hard drives, optical drives and other such storage devices.

Four
ATA and EIDE These are the most common terms for the same devices, although they are usually incorrect. According to CompTia's Guide to Hardware, ATA refers to drive interface standards as published by ANSI. IDE refers to the technology used internally by the hard drive. EIDE is used by manufacturers to refer to the parallel ATA (P-ATA) that CD drives, DVD drives, Zip drives, tape drives, and IDE hard drives use to connect to the mothermoard. While IDE is used more commonly abroad, EIDE is a more complete and accurate definition.
