Serial ATA (SATA)

The Serial ATA (SATA) interface was designed to replaced parallel ATA in desktop, notebook, consumer electronics and network storage systems. SATA allows you to move more data in less time, which results in increase performance and flexibility. Native Command Queuing, a key feature of SATA, makes it possible to sort and prioritize several commands at the same time and reduce mechanical wear and tear within the drive. Other features such as hot plug, staggered spin-up and a fast transfer rate of 3Gb/s per second make SATA a perfect choice for servers, workstations, desktops, consumer electronics and laptop PCs.
