Comment on If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?
VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoIt still bugs me that the old drive connections are called PATA now and not IDE.

Yes PATA IDE was the full old term. Now we have SATA ( SCSI ? or IDE? i dont remember ) .
PATA = Parallel - ATA SATA = Serial - ATA

They always were PATA, IDE was always the wrong term to use, but it was commonly used anyways. SATA drives are also IDE drives. It’s not really a useful term anymore because we don’t use separate daughter boards for hard drives anymore.
