AFAIK, the slowest part in a hard drive, i.e. the mechanical part, is
the same for a PATA drive and a SATA drive.

Well, that's my point: probably they're not, because new drives may
well not be shipping with PATA.

I believe the controller card is pretty independant.
And it's pretty soon to put PATA drives into their grave -- lots of
PATA disks are still being sold.

But anyway, my point is, there isn't much evolution in hard drives'
mechanical parts: the platters still turn at 7200 rpm, like five years
ago.
