SATA: DATA CABLE {40 CM}
- SATA is the faster serial version of the parallel ATA (PATA) interface.
- Both SATA and PATA are “integrated drive electronics” (IDE) devices.
- This means the controller is in the drive, and only a simple circuit is required on the motherboard.
Used to connect hard drives, DVDs, CDs, and Blue Ray drives to the motherboard.
