Serial ATA is a type of hard drive connector and standard. Instead of a 40-pin parallel ATA plug, is uses around 6 wires to send the data in a serial fashion. If you don't have SATA sockets or not enough for your needs, then you have to install an expansion card with SATA connectors. They are available for different types of expansion sockets, support different SATA standards (generation 3 is the current standard), and have different numbers of SATA sockets.
