Generally speaking, if the rpm,size, and usage is the same, do SATA hard drives run hotter than PATA?

im guerssing they would run a bit hotter, but by like maybe 1-2 degrees celcius.

SATA/ATA150 is only 17mbps faster than the traditional PATA/ATA133, so im guessing it would run a tiny bit warmer, but there should be no significant difference

Hey thanks, I couldn't find info for this. I just had a overheating issue with my sys and was kind of curious if I got one. Thanks!
