I do alot of video editing as in BOOTLEGGING rented dvds with dvd shrink & dvd decrypter. I get a transfer rate of about 26 MB/ Sec hard drive to hard drive & up to a 16X transfer from the dvd. How much would my disk to disk transfer increase with a SATA drive. I dont expect the hard disk to perform at the maxium possible speed of 3 GB/Sec. But what are some of the real-world disk speeds with these newer drives?

SATA is faster, of course; it's newer. Also, the best reason for not buying a PATA drive is that you won't be able to use it with your next system. They're doing away with PATA altogether, albeit slowly.
For instance, all of the newest motherboards (that aren't legacy) have only one PATA port, and unless you're planning on having a computer with no optical drives, you'd better have SATA hard drives, huh? And don't be surprised if the next generation of motherboards have 0 PATA ports, since the optical drive manufacturers have now started making SATA optical drives.

you could bring up the two HDs on the recent gadget and pass the partition from one stress to the different. you could might desire to preload with SATA drivers. Then boot up on the recent stress. you ought to use something like Partition Magic to pass the partition or a utility CD from the HD mfgr. in case you want in basic terms the records (not classes) you could xfer them on a thumb stress. you could reinstall classes from the unique disk. you additionally can run the ide stress on the SATA controller. I even have 2 adapters which i've got offered from Newegg. No problems with them in any respect.

7,200 rpms and some with 10,000. Transfer rate can be from 25 to 100 megs a second as far as I know.
