IDE

The name IDE is often used interchangeably with ATA, but "IDE" actually refers to only the electrical specifications of the signals on the 40 / 80 pin disk cable. ATA is the proper name for the entire specification.

SATA and PATA

Recently a new standard for ATA data transmission has emerged. It was named SATA, and the previous well-known forms of ATA were retroactively renamed PATA, "to reduce confusion" -- while certainly causing it.
