Serial Advanced Technology Attachment stand for  SATA is a serial link advanced techonolgy in connecting  and controlling the data and information from a server  to a user application. it provide them interface between drives and  motherboard. The data transfer rate i.e  150Mbps is faster than the 100Mbps  ATA drives that is the fastest before SATA. That’s why SATA is replaced  by Parallel ATA (PATA).
Understand the benefits of SATA compared it to PATA which is based on Integrated Drive Electronics(IDE),  used for transfers of data and information between storage devices and motherboard’s.



Advantages of SATA over PATA

v  use smaller and thinner cables which provide better data flow
v  SATA uses 7 conductors while PATA uses 40.
v  It can be as long as meter
v  It is better and more efficient
v  Increase system performance
v  Reduce development cost
v  Low voltage signal
v  Configuration of storage devices is much simpler in SATA as compared to PATA


The PATA cables are low quality, more bandwidth , induce heat which affects  the overall data transfers performance.  On the other hand SATA  cables are samll, required less space and not easily voilate that increase the data transfers performance .
