For one thing you can get drives with 10 000 rpm and 15 000 rpm.
They just cost a lot more. Secondly the density has gone up
tremendously. So you pass more sectors pr time. Thus the drives
are actually faster.
What I meant, is that I see no reason for a 300-GB, 7200 rpm, 3"1/2
SATA drive, to be significantly faster than a 300-GB, 7200 rpm, 3"1/2
PATA drive.
(Except maybe some tricks like NCQ, that may make operations of small
files a bit more efficient.)
Third the drives are much smaller
1 inch instead of 3 inch height.
Did you see any 3-inch-high hard drives in the last 10 to 15 years?
The oldest drive I have is a WD 200-MB IDE, and its size is the same
usual 3"1/2 x 1", like all recent disks.
I think I've seen a 20-MB disk on a very old PC (286), and it was the
same size.
Also the drives are much quieter.
Yes. Both PATA and SATA.
