Serial ATA has different connecting cables.
Old-fashioned Parallel ATA cables are flat and very wide, you may have seen them. SATA cables are comparatively skinny. They have different connectors on the ends, so your cannot plug a SATA drive into PATA cable, or vise versa.

SerialATA known as SATA it does not use a ribbon the difference between SATA1 and SATA2 is SATA1 is 150mbps and SATA2 is 300mbps. Although no hard drive can even approach over 100mbps so SATA1 and SATA2 is just an interface.

Serial ATA - it's just a different type of connection to standard (IDE / Parallel ATA)
