Yeah Serial ATA (SATA) is very fast compared to standard IDE devices. I don't use it but nearly all new motherboards support it now as a future technology. SATA drives are only coming around now but they cost quite a lot but I expect they will come down in price as more companies take up the technology. I think it will replace standard IDE in the future as it has been the same for ages and you need to have a RAID drive system or a fast SCSI drive system to have high transfer speeds at the moment and these cost loads for the drives and are only used in servers really where as SATA is aimed at home users.
