SATA 7p cable, SATA data cable, SATA 7pin to 7pin cable
The serial ATA specification grew out of the need to support growing bandwidth requirements current parallel ATA (known as ATA 100) will be unable to maintain in future years
Peak transfer rates of 150MB, or 1.5gigabits per second are achieved over a 7pin interface
Serial ATA architecture is forward looking in that it was created with a 10-year road map in mind
The super set of capabilities beyond those of parallel SATA
Will enable additional usage models and over time allow serial ATA to migrate into lower-cost PCs, notebooks, set-tops, low-end workstations, servers and low-cost raid storage units
Applications:
Serial ATA technology offers higher bandwidth and a wider range of applications including the following
CDs, DVDs
Tapes devices
High capacity removable devices
Zip drives
CD-RWs x HD device
Cable assembly: straight and right angle cable exits
Low pin count using serial data transmission, four signals and three grounds
Cable length comparable to S-ATA (<1M)
Transfer rate exceeding best S-ATA (-150MB/s) with scalability to higher rates
