Yes you can transfer files if your motherboard support both types of drives, if it has the connectors both for sata and pata (ide).

No disadvantage one disadvantage is that you can't use it in an IDE only box. --- Sata drives can be used in an IDE only computer using a cheap sata to IDE reversible interface. IDE<>SATA SATA<>IDE Another disadvantage is that serial devices driven at high speed can be subject to interferrance if the cable length is too long. This is not unique to SATA (IDE suffers from this too) But until an alternative system such as Fibre optics cable is introduced it will limit lead length. ---
