It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

It still bugs me that the old drive connections are called PATA now and not IDE.

    They always were PATA, IDE was always the wrong term to use, but it was commonly used anyways. SATA drives are also IDE drives. It’s not really a useful term anymore because we don’t use separate daughter boards for hard drives anymore.
