| Short for AT Attachment, ATA was first approved May 12, 1994 under the ANSI document number X3.221-1994 and is an interface used to connect such devices as hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives, and other types of drives in IBM compatible computers. The original ATA interface is now often referred to as PATA, which is short for Parallel AT Attachment after the introduction of SATA.
