They are completely different interfaces
From here:
http://www.powerdonkey.net/windows/xp/sata_driver_update.php
SATA drives are better only when they use SATA native mode. SATA native mode has Native Command Queuing (NCQ) that allows the hard drive to manage read and write commands, queue them, and make decisions on rearranging that queue so that it reads and writes things from locations close to each other. PATA (the wide ribbon originally) does not have this feature, and neither does SATA when it is operating in PATA emulated mode.
