Data path is more in 80 ribbon cable.. The data transaction is faster than 40 ribbon cable..
The correct answer is....80-conductor IDE ribbon cable.
A 34-pin ribbon cable will connect a floppy drive.A 40 (or 80) conductor ribbon cable is for (E)IDE devices.Other ribbon cables may be used (80 conductor for SCSI, and in older systems, MFM and RLL Hard drives).A smaller ribbon cable (10 conductors) may be used for USB Headers.I think that covers most of them.

3 types of ribbon cables found in a PC are, a 34-pin floppy drive cable with twist, a 40-pin IDE cable with 40 wires, and a 40-pin IDE cable with 80 fine wires(80 conductor cable)A floppy drive cable, an IDE cable, and a CD or DVD drive cable
Hard Drives connect to the motherboard one of two ways. Either using a 40-wire/40-pin HDD ribbon cable, or an 80-wire/40-pin HDD ribbon cable. HDD stands for Hard Drive Disk.
UltraDMA/66 requires a special ribbon cable with extra wires (80 wire) to cut down on crosstalk
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.
Floppy Ribbon : The floppy cable has 34 wires. There are normally five connectors on the floppy interface cable, although sometimes there are only three. These are grouped into three "sets"; a single connector plus two pairs of two each (for a standard, five-connector cable) or three single connectors. IDE Ribbon : IDE cables consist of either 40 individual wires or 80 individual wires. Ultra ATA/66 or later devices need the 80 wire cables to operate efficiently. Most of these wires are used to transfer data between the motherboard and the drives.
Under parallel ata, two types of ribbon cable are used. The 80-conductor ide cable has 40 pins and 80 wires Forty wires are used for communication and data, and an additional 40 ground wires reduce crosstalk on the cable. An older 40-conducror cable has 40 wires and 40 pins. the two types of cables are PATA and IDE cables which come in a 80-conductor IDE cable and a 40-conductor cable
A 40 or an 80
