ATA and Serial ATA are not formats, its a type of drive, ATA drives, or Parallel ATA as we call them now are those hold drives with the pins sticking out.. Serial ATA drives replaced these a good many years ago. Serial ATA has a different interface all together.. an ATA will not work in your Macbook Pro.. you need a SATA drive.
