My Sata Question

Hi I'm Baffled!?!

I have a Motherboard it says its SATA compatible in the Manual...Fine.

Currently Its running 2 IDE ATA HD's...Great.

next to the IDE connection on my motherboard the SATA addon connections are also there.

But of my knowledge of SATA HD's I thought that SATA HD's run off completly different connections. I really don't get how it all works ie. Do SATA HD's use the current ATA Cable's but have a secondary smaller cable to go with it? or...

I really can't explain what I mean to well, If you can decipher what I mean please help me.

Thanks in advance
