First some Background....
SATA Drive Connector.
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment is the newest(and fastest) form of Data wiring for computers. The older style, PATA (Parallel ATA) or IDE was a bit bulky and cumbersome. SATA is much slimmer and faster than PATA.
Now for your question....
The SATA Drive Connector is most likely used for either or both Hard Drives and CD/DVD-ROMs. It is coming to be the new standard for all motherboards.
What else can I help you with?
What is the purpose for the SATA-style power connector?
SATA power connector is a type of power cable with which we can provide Disks power from the mother board. SATA Power cables are connected from sata point on motherboard to the drive.
What type of connector can be used to connect an eSATA interface to an external SATA drive?
7-pin connector
What should be checked in order when a new IDE hard drive is not recognized?
The SATA connector cable, or whatever connector cable you have from the drive to the motherboard.
Which type of power connector is used to connect devices such as optical drives and hard drives?
There are two kinds in common use:Molex - an older standard, but still commonSATA - Serial ATA, a newer standardSee the related links for pictures.
How can you make a SATA drive work on a motherboard that only has a PATA connector?
Well... First, you have to plug it in..
What might be the purpose for SATA style power connector?
a sata power connector is normally used for powering sata dvd drives as well as sata hard drives and ssd drives
What are 3 types of ribbon cables you might find inside a PC?
-Sata Cable -IDE Cable -Molex/Sata power cable Other possible -SCSI Cable -Floppy cable -SLI/Crossfire Cable -12V 24 pin Motherboard connector -12v 4-pin CPU Connector -12v PCI-e Connector
Where do the plugs inside the desktop for the CD hard drive go?
If it's a SATA connector, in one of the SATA ports. If it's a ribbon cable (commonly called IDE cable, but that's incorrect), into the IDE connector on the Motherboard. (that's properly named)
Which type of drive is used for external data storage attaches using a 7 pin connector and has a maximum cable length of two meters?
Sata drive
What is the name of the cord that powers the optical disk drive?
In a laptop, there is a kind of SATA cable called the Slimline connector which both carries information for the drive but also has a pin in it that carries current for power. In desktop PCs, there are two SATA cables: one for data and one for power. So, technically, the answer is "SATA" for both.
What kind of power connector provides the fdd with power supply?
The power connector that provides power to a floppy disk drive (FDD) is typically a 4-pin Molex connector. This connector supplies both 5V and 12V power to the drive, with the 5V line powering the electronics of the FDD and the 12V line used for the motor that spins the floppy disk. In some modern systems, especially those using SATA, a SATA power connector may also be used with appropriate adapters.
What is a sata power connector?
A SATA power connector is what connects the SATA device to the PSU (power supply unit), therefore giving it a source of power. There is another cable that connects to the motherboard but that is just for data transfer.
