  Serial is the cable connected to your SATA drive. The "S" in SATA stands 
for serial.

The flat ribbon cable is for parallel drives. The "P" in PATA stands for 
parallel.

It is most common for the P to be left off though. So, you will see ATA and 
SATA on the different drive packaging or in other printed material.
