No, it does not have SATA instead it has older standard ATA. They are not interchangeable.
SATA (Serial ATA)
According to http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/SATA, it stands for "Serial Advanced Technology Attachment." The "ATA" in "SATA" therefore stands for "Advanced Technology Attachment."
A serial hard drive is the same as a SATA hard drive. SATA is Serial ATA, and PATA is Parallel ATA.
SATA is ATA, but there are many ATA. SATA is an acronym for Serial AT Attachment, AT being the successor to the PC standard of desktop computers. There are many ATA standards, lots, but short answer is they are outdated Paralel, so we coined a new term to cover all the old ATA devices: PATA.

There are many different interfaces used. For internal hard drives, older drives use/used PATA (Parallel ATA, originally just called ATA, and commonly referred to as IDE). Newer drives generally use SATA (Serial ATA). For external drives, connections include USB (1.0, 2.0, and 3.0), eSata, and Firewire (IEEE 1394).
