What exactly is an ATA drive, anyway?


I know SCSI and IDE; is ATA related to one or the other, or is it an entirely

In short ATA is a modern form of IDE, with SCSI lice features, like DMA.
For more teknical info look at http://www.maxtor.com/en/index.htm as an exampel an read the white papers about their products.
