: "In 1996, Quantum developed ATA-33, two years later, ATA-66 hit the market, now it's year 2000, aren't we due for a new high-speed interface? With that, Quantum developed the ATA-100 interface, designed to break that hard drive bottleneck. However, the bottlneck does not lie in the actual interface, but more in the limitation of the disks themselves. For this, serial ATA is being developed and will probably hit the market shortly with the limitations on IDE drives nearing. Serial ATA is designed to push 160 MB/Second of data, much like the UW-SCSI 3 interface, or Ultra 160."
