IDE drives commonly use the ATA standard. ATA usually runs at ATA-33, ATA-66, ATA-100, and ATA-133. These run at 33 MB/s, 66 MB/s, 100 MB/s, and 133 MB/s respectively. Most modern IDE hard drives run at ATA-100 or ATA-133 while older
If you have your hard drive on a 40-wire PATA cable and/or the PATA cable attached to your hard drive is also attached to your CD-ROM drive, your hard drive might be forced to run at ATA-33. For best performance, only use an 80-wire PATA cable and do not connect your optical drive with it.

IDE stand for Integrated Drive Electronics.
Well it can vary between high speed SATA or high speed IDE hard drives. They all link into a port on the side or middle of a motherboard. an IDE hard drive is a hard drive with a long rectangular outlet or hookup to the motherboard. A SATA hard drive is a small but reliable plug to the motherboard about half an inch long.
Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE)
The IDE drive has no direct correlation to the AGP bus.
yes. pata and ide are the same thing.
The only advantage of using a IDE hard drive is maximum compatibility. It appears that SATA hard drives have a lot more advantages than an IDE hard drive.
No. IDE Hard Drive cannot be replaced with a Sata Hard Drive because the connectors are different. example. if you have sata hard drive installed on your machine. and you purchase IDE Hard drive. you won't be able to install the IDE hard drive where the Sata hard drive was because the IDE connectors are a different shape and size towards the Sata hard drive connectors.
The speed difference betwen SATA and IDE devices won't be noticeable to the average user, but when especially large files come in to play, you will likely notice some difference. This is especially true if you use more than one drive on an IDE channel!
ATA and IDE use the same interface type, so the answer is YES, you can put the a ATA and an IDE in the same computer.
The smallest storage access unit on an IDE hard drive is a sector.
An IDE connector is used to connect a CD-ROM drive or hard drive to a motherboard, with a long and flat ribbon cable.
