"Because it doesn't take up air flow because it is skinny... dis question was ansered by Ron"
SATA does not mean skinny lol; it is the data interface (in this case Serial, not Parallel) between the HDD and motherboard. This interface has NOTHING to do with the thermal characteristics of either the HDD or ambient system temperature.
I am assuming that both of you believe SATA HDD means it is a 2.5" laptop drive which is not the case. SATA interfaces are available with "Skinny" 2.5" Laptop drives and full size (3.5") hard disks.
In most cases, a laptop drive (2.5") will actually run cooler than a full sized drive but, because of their smaller form, they are a more expensive solution for your run of the mill desktop PC. Solid state drives run even cooler and cost even more.
When choosing a HDD, decide on your size, cache size and speed. The faster the RPM and the higher the cache size usually tranlates to a faster drive. Solid State Drives (SSD) have a large range in speeds. Some are as slow as a USB key and others faster than a 10K RPM HDD. Always check reviews. There are alot of poorly made HDDs these days.

EDIT: I just mentioned this to a friend and she pointed out something I dismissed. The SATA cable is much smaller form which could encourage additional airflow within your case. Therefore, SATA can keep your case cooler if your wires are interfering with airflow. In a properly built PC, however, these cables should be out of airflow thus elliminating size of cable as a factor.

What is the difference between Serial and Parallel data transfer?
With a Microcontroller look at it serial would be better than parallel when you have very few I/O pins or when you want to reserve extra I/O pins for other purposes.A cost-of-wire approach would prove that serial is better because the fewer wires would have a lower cost then that of parallel communicationComputer case airflow would also indicate that serial can be better. With multiple harddrives in a computer sata cables will not disrupt the airflow as much as their much larger PATA flat cable counterparts. Although depending on where components are located and what type of cooling is used would be factors for this argument.
Which component would be located inside the computer case?
Ram
It is adelia studio a case software?
Yes, Adelia Studio is an i-CASE Software, integrated Computer Software Engineering
When A force of 5 newton is acting parallel to the moment arm of 10 cm . so what is torque?
In order for a force to produce a torque, either all of it, or a part of it (component) must act perpendicular to the moment arm. If, as in your case, all of the force is parallel to the moment arm then the force can not produce a torque. So the answer is; the torque is zero.
How does hinterland relates to transshipment?
transshipment has several types, one of which is transfer between ship and bus. In that case better inland road connection is important.
How does serial ATA help keep a computer case cool better that parallel ATA?
Serial ATA are thin cables that don't hinder airflow inside a case as much as the wide parallel ATA cables do.
How does serial ATA help keep a computer case cool better than parallel ATA?
The cables are thinner so they don't hinder airflow inside the case.
6 how does serial ATA help keep a computer case cool better than parallel ATA?
The cables are smaller and allow for better airflow Because serial ATA cables are thinner, They do not hinder air flow as much as wider parallel ATA cables
How does a serial ATA help keep a computer case cool better than parallel ATA?
"The thinner serial-ATA cable does not hinder airflow within the case" info from Jean Andrews CompTIA A+ Guide to Hardware Fourth Edition
Is computer serial or parallel device?
Neither. A computer case is just a box to hold the parts of a computer. It provides no form of communication itself.
What are computer bus standard?
computer buses were literally parallel electrical wires with multiple connections, but the term is now used for any physical arrangement that provides the same logical functionality as a parallel electrical bus. Modern computer buses can use both parallel and bit serial connections, and can be wired in either a multidrop (electrical parallel) or daisy chain topology, or connected by switched hubs, as in the case of USB.
What is difference between parallel and perspective projection in Computer Graphics?
Parallel projection does not produces realistic views whereas perspective projection produces realistic viewin parallel projection lines of projection are parallel whereas in perspective projection lines are not parallel and the point where these lines meets is called ceter of projection in case of perspective projection
When might you need to disable ECP mode for parallel port?
An occasion when you need to disable the ECP mode for parallel port is when resource conflicts occur. In such a case, the EPP mode is the better option.
How do you cool off the hard drives in your computer?
HDD coolers off ebay the ones with heatsinks are better or add more fans to your computer case
What is the usage of apple computer?
The same uses as any other computer. Apple computers will do everything a Windows computer will do and in some case do it better. Graphic Designers, and Photographers use Apple computers because they tend to display graphics much better than a Windows computer.
What do computer gamers want from a computer case?
The core task your computer case should do is that of cooling your computer. This is especially important when you're gaming which is heavy on the computer causing it to emit a lot of heat. After you have good heating you are going to need some cool glowing effects and designs. This is a gaming case and you may be taking it to some LAN parties and you need to show everyone you are a rockin' gamer and what a better way to do it than with a rockin' case.
What does a case do to a computer?
A case protects a computer when it is dropped.
