IDE is slower, data transfer rate typically 100/133 MBps (u must have seen ATA-100, ATA-133) that of course depends on the cable used as well.
S-ATA, as well called Serial ATA. has typical transfer rate of 150MBps, they are hot swappable as well, means that you can (though I never got in need to do that), un-plug the hard drive's cable, and re-plug.

Minor technicality, the SATA and PATA technologies are different no doubt but SATA is still apart of the IDE spec isnt it? (otherwise we wouldnt be seeing ATA150 in places)
