Serial Over Parallel
Why choose serial over the current Parallel data transfer method. Well there are two main reasons for this. Firstly Having data sent in parallel requires a lot of signal being sent at the same time, this causes electrical interference and can have problem, using serial transfer means you only need a send and receive signal. The second reason is if you are sending data in parallel you have to have a lot more wires. You know that an IDE cable can be a real pain when trying to keep system cooling running smoothly. They also get in the way of other wires running throughout the system. All the other data transfer standard we use today are based on the serial data transfer system, USB, Ethernet and Firewire are all based on serial data transfer.

Data Transfer Rate
The current specification for serial ATA allows for a max data transfer of 150Mb/s That would be the same as a ATA150 specification for the current HD rating. £00Mb/s and 600Mb/s are being worked on for the near future.
