What Is Serial-ATA Power Adapter Cable
Serial ATA is a developing PC disk drive serial interconnect standard, which has been parallel since its inception in 1986, that is intended to replace Ultra ATA66/100 conductor ribbon cable interface with a much smaller, higher data rate cable.
Ratified by ANSI in 2002, Serial ATA (SATA) provides a point-to-point channel between motherboard and drive rather than the Parallel ATA (PATA) master-slave architecture that supports two drives on the same cable.
Traditionally, data cable connecting the hard drives and CDROMs to the motherboard has been flat 40-wire parallel cables called Parralel ATA (PATA) interface. The PATA has its own limitations, such as its limition of maximum of 18 inches in length of cable which often results in cables cramping in the CPU cabnet hampering the airflow and slower data transfer rates which even in most advanced PATA drives (Ultra ATA/133) can only deliver speed of 133 Mbps as compared to SATA’s several Gbps data transfer speed.
