The Serial ATA (SATA) computer bus is a storage-interface for connecting host bus adapters to mass
storage devices such as hard disk drives
and optical drives. SATA offers several compelling advantages over the older parallel ATA (PATA)
interface, such as reduced cable-bulk and
cost, faster and more efficient data transfer, full duplex, and hot swapping. It is designed to replace
the older ATA (AT Attachment) standard
(Parallel ATA). All SATA devices support hot plugging and hot swapping. SATA supports Native
Command Queuing (NCQ) for enhanced
performance.
