ide ata currently is between 50 and 100 mb
seiral ata which is a new power over scsi (firewire on crack i call it ) is curretntly 150 at the most and then 300 in the REv 2 version. firewire is 800 mbits persecond which is really more like 60 mbytes but in firewire 2 it will be 2 gigbit persecond which is more like acutally 200 mb a second and with a smaller cable then Seiral ATA
so heres how to think about it .... Thick fat 1/2 inch thick cable with gold connectors on the end which will be nice and expensive that can go up to 2 meters from the drive (nice for raids)
or say firewire 2 with a 1/8 inch cable and a 3 meter range from the drive to the connector
