Expand the Storage Space in Your Computer with PATA/IDE/EIDE 1TB Internal Hard Disk Drives

PATA, IDE, and EIDE are different names for a similar type of interface that will connect any compatible hard drive to the motherboard of your laptop or desktop computer. These hard drives have a terabyte of internal storage space, allowing you to store plenty of games, high-definition video, and other large content. You can find a variety of these drives on eBay, and depending on the manufacturer and model, the specs will differ.

How do you choose the right hard drive?

Each 1TB hard drive may differ in the following respects:

  • Cache: The cache is a small amount of memory embedded on the hard drive. This memory can be accessed much faster than the data stored on the disk itself. "Cached" data, therefore, helps to speed up operations by a noticeable amount.
  • Transfer speeds: The Parallel ATA interface has undergone several revisions since its introduction, and each revision has offered faster speeds. The fastest PATA drives can transfer data to and from the computer at more than 100 megabytes per second. They also have a cycle time of less than 100 nanoseconds, or a billionth of a second. This is the maximum transfer rate and may not fully reflect real-world conditions. The drive may say PATA/100 or PATA/133 to identify its maximum transfer speed. Check the version in your computer first to make sure it aligns with the drive.
  • Size: Hard drives are typically either 2.5 inches or 3.5 inches in size. The smaller hard drive is intended for laptop computers, whereas the larger hard drive is intended for desktop computers.
Can you connect PATA hard drives externally through a cable?

Yes, certain cable adapters do allow you to connect the hard drive to your computer through an external port, the most common of which is a USB port. The maximum possible cable length is 18 inches.

What is a PATA interface?

PATA stands for Parallel ATA, or Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment. First introduced in 1986, Parallel ATA, as the name implies, sends a signal to and from the computer in parallel. It was the dominant standard until the Serial ATA interface was introduced in 2003. If you're running an older legacy computer, then there's a good chance it contains a Parallel ATA interface. Some newer computers may also use the interface. IDE, or Integrated Drive Electronics, and EIDE, or Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics, are the interface standards from which Parallel ATA evolved. The three interfaces will work interchangeably.
