Description
Serial ATA (SATA, abbreviated from Serial AT Attachment)[3] is a computer bus interface that connects host bus adapters to mass storage devices such as hard disk drives, optical drives, and solid-state drives. Serial ATA succeeded the earlier Parallel ATA (PATA) standard to become the predominant interface for storage devices.
SATA cables are used to connect hard disk drives (HDD) to mainboards and/or disk controllers.
