The Best Sata Hard Drives
The hard drive acronym SATA stands for "Serial Advanced Technology Attachment" and is really the data transportation device or bus that carries the information between the hard drive and the computer itself. There are many other types of hard drive transport system such as Parallel ATA or "PATA" and Small Computer Systems Interface or SCSI.
These days the majority of computers are utilising the more robust and fast data storage devices that are SATA hard drives and although SCSI drives are still in use the PATA hard drive has all but been relegated into obsolescence. One of the main reasons for this advantage of SATA hard drives is that they are fast and this is due to the SATA bus and its super speed capability.
There are a group of items that make the SATA hard drive such a fast and reliable storage medium and the main one of these is the actual speed of the SATA bus which with transfer speeds of up to 300MB/sec is more than enough to deal with the demands of today's modern applications and is far superior to the transfer rates of the more obsolete mediums such as PATA.
Of course as we the user make even more demands on our hardware and expect such technology levels to produce super rich media content, providing us with highly complex and realistic video gaming experiences and high definition video then even these high speeds could be pushed to their limits.
Whilst most consumers find the primary benefit of SATA hard drives to be the speed and reliability, there are other aspects that are proving useful for the newer types of solid state drives. With more and more modern devices such as laptops and even desktop PC's now coming with an external SATA or eSATA port built in the options for utilising the larger capacity, faster flash thumb drives become available to us.
Alongside this flexibility that becomes available for the eSATA drives another improvement within the SATA specification over the older PATA and SCSI specifications is the positive aspect of the SATA cable and connector designs. The older style flat design cables of PATA and especially SCSI where cumbersome and difficult to handle, the connectors could easily damage the pins that they plugged on to and the size of the cables limited and blocked the airflow efficiency of the PC's chassis. All of these problems have been eliminated with the new design cables which are slim and the flat style connectors with their L shape make for simple and easy connection of the device. The cables used on SATA hard drives are also cheaper and do not suffer from the length restrictions of the older PATA cables (you could use a SATA cable of up to three feet in length without any degradation of signal).
Another real advantage of SATA is they are what is known in the business as "hot swappable", this effectively means that the hard drive can be removed from and replaced in the system without having to turn off the power, which is a major advantage if you are utilising different data drives for example. (Obviously you would not do this if the drive was the computers boot drive).
SATA hard drives are pretty much the de facto standard now in all PC's and are more than adequate for most users and because of the backward compatibility built into the standard any future upgrades to it will continue to work with the current SATA hard drives.

eSATA AND SATA?
What is the diffrence between eSATA and just SATA? is there any differnce?
wow aresharmony ur answer was so long and complex its to bad i could really understand what u were saying i hope i didnt waste ur time!
Standardized in mid-2004, eSATA defined separate cables, connectors, and revised electrical requirements for external applications:
Minimum transmit potential increased: Range is 500–600 mV instead of 400–600 mV.
Minimum receive potential decreased: Range is 240–600 mV instead of 325–600 mV.
Identical protocol and logical signaling (link/transport-layer and above), allowing native SATA devices to be deployed in external enclosures with minimal modification
Maximum cable length of 2 m (USB and FireWire allow longer distances.)
Aimed at the consumer market, eSATA enters an external storage market already served by the USB and FireWire interfaces. Most external hard disk drive cases with FireWire or USB interfaces use either PATA or SATA drives and "bridges" to translate between the drives' interfaces and the enclosures' external ports, and this bridging incurs some inefficiency. In the case of USB 2.0, protocol overhead limits the maximum effective bandwidth to a fraction of USB's physical signalling rate. With modern hard disk drives, USB's transfer rate is a bottleneck. FireWire, with its isochronous transfer mode, is more efficient, such that even in its slower variant, FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394a), the effective transfer rate is significantly faster than that of USB 2.0, but this can still be a bottleneck for fast drives or RAIDs. Some single disks can transfer well over 70 MB/s during real use, well in excess of USB 2.0's or the older FireWire 400's abilities. Finally, some low-level drive features, such as S.M.A.R.T., are not usable through USB or FireWire bridging. eSATA does not suffer from these issues.
eSATA will likely co-exist alongside USB 2.0 and FireWire storage for several reasons. The ubiquity of USB ports on all mass-market computers, and FireWire ports on many consumer electronic appliances, guarantee a large market for USB and FireWire storage. For small form-factor devices (such as external 2.5" disks), a PC-hosted USB or FireWire link supplies sufficient power to operate the device. Where a PC-hosted port is concerned, eSATA connectors cannot supply power, and would therefore be more cumbersome to use.
As of 2007, few computer motherboards have eSATA connectors. Non-equipped desktops can be upgraded with the installation of an eSATA host bus adapter (HBA), while notebooks can be upgraded with Cardbus or ExpressCard versions of an eSATA HBA. Also available are passive eSATA-to-SATA bracket/cable-adapters. With passive-adapters, the maximum cable length is reduced to 1 meter, due to the absence of compliant eSATA signal levels. Full SATA speed for external disks (115 MB/s) have been measured with external RAID enclosures.
eSATA is likely to be ignored by the enterprise and server market, which has already standardized on the separately-developed Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which has extra features for remote management, link redundancy, and link monitoring.
Note: Prior to the final eSATA specification, there were a number of products designed for external connections of SATA drives. Some of these use the internal SATA connector or even connectors designed for other interface specifications, such as FireWire. These products are not eSATA compliant. The final eSATA specification features a specific connector designed for rough manipulation. It's similar to the regular SATA connector, but with reinforcements in both the male and female sides, inspired by the USB connector. It's harder to unplug and can withstand a cable being yanked or wiggled. On a SATA connector, this kind of action will break the male side of the connection (the hard drive or host adapter), rendering the device unusable. With an eSATA connector, considerably more force is needed to damage the connector, and even in this situation, only the female side (the cable itself) will break, possibly leaving the male usable.[citation needed]
In computer hardware, Serial ATA (SATA, [ˈseɪ.tə] or IPA: [ˈsæ.tə]) is a computer bus technology primarily designed for transfer of data to and from hard disks and optical drives. It was designed as a successor to the legacy Advanced Technology Attachment standard (ATA), and is expected to eventually replace the older technology (retroactively renamed Parallel ATA or PATA). Serial ATA adapters and devices communicate over a high-speed serial link.

Unlike PATA, both SATA and eSATA are designed to support hot-plugging. However, this feature requires proper support at the host, device (drive), and operating-system level. In general, all SATA/devices (drives) support hot-plugging (due to the requirements on the device-side), but requisite support is less common on SATA host adapters.
