    What's the difference between ATA, SATA and IDE?

    I know that with ATA or IDE I can have 2 drives per cable. Is that the same with SATA or am I limited to to one drive per cable. I.E. Get rid of my parallel cable and have 3 HDDs on 2 SATA cables and 1 DVD burner on a parallel cable (since optical drivs do not have SATA connections).
