To learn more about Serial ATA Interface:
The next step in the evolution of the hard-drive interfaces technology is Serial ATA (SATA). This interface uses serial protocal instead of the current parallel ATA interface. With a SATA interface, sereral benefits are obtained over the previous ATA interface: speed increase, thinner and more flexible cable, longer cable limite, and peer to peer connection.
1. The current generation of SATA supports up to 150Mbytes/sec and the next generation will support up to 300 Mbytes/sec. As a comparison, the current parallet ATA Ultra-133 mode supports up to 133Mbytes/sec.
2. A SATA cable only uses 7 pin connectors instead of the 80 pin connectors used in the parallel ATA. This provides smaller and thinner cable that is easy to route inside the case and does not block the airflow.
3. Since SATA uses serial communication, the cable can be up to 1 meter long as compared to the parallel ATA limit of 18"
4. SATA uses a peer-to-peer connection: 1 cable to 1 devices. This eliminates the need to set the drive to Master/Slave mode. Each device has a dedicated channel to the host. There is no bandwidth sharing as in parallel ATA.
5. Application for 2.5" HDD, 3.5" HDD, CDROM, DVD.CDRW,DVDRW and etc...
