Serial ATA refers to “Serial Advanced Technology Attachment”. SATA is a computer bus technology designed for transfer of data to and from hard disk drives. It is successor to the Advanced Technology Attachment standard (ATA), and is expected to replace the older technology. Serial ATA devices communicate over a high-speed serial link. SATA is a standard for connecting hard drives into computer systems. SATA is based on serial signaling technology while IDE hard drive uses parallel signaling. SATA has several advantages over the IDE. SATA cables are thinner, flexible and less massive than the ribbon cables that is required for conventional PATA hard drives. SATA cables can be longer than PATA ribbon cables.
