Like AGP, for the most part, the performance increases of SATA over
PATA are negligble if any at all on a like for like basis.

That simply isn't the case if you have a modern drive (try a Seagate
7200.11 750GB -- Yes, the size is important, higher density results in a
faster drive under some circumstances) with NCQ in full SATA-II+AHCI
mode, you'll blow past ATA's theoretical limits, not that you'll ever
see ATA's theoretical limits in practice.

FFS...which part of like for like are you lot too thick to understand?
Take that drive, shove a PATA interface on it and you'd not notice the
speed difference.

Which one of these drives manages to max out the PATA IDE interface max
data rate of 133MB/s?

Oh, and there's faster drives than the seagate you mentioned...
