SATA is............. This is one of the latest and popular developments. The high speed serialized AT attachment. Currently SATA offers ransfer speeds of upto 150Mbps. However, this technology can offer upto 600Mbps with further development. The next stage is increasing the speed to 300Mbps.
This is a popular term, it really should be called ATA - Advanced Technology Attachment. One of the earliest types. Also known as ATA-1. Data transfer rate of about 8Mbps (8 million bits per second). Basic differences are,
1) Speed (150mbps (SATA) vs 100/133mbps (PATA))
2) Air flow (large IDE cable vs thin SATA)
3) Hot swappable (SATA)
4) Newer technology with future speed increases promised.
SATA and eSATA are electonically the same, but the construction of the cables and the terminals is different. The major difference between the two is that SATA is designed for use inside a computer system while eSATA is for use externally.
If you mean between hard drives and ssd's (solid state drives), then you need to read the wikipedia page on Solid State Drives, it has a comparison of the two technologies.
Sata drives are usually faster.
a sata power connector is normally used for powering sata dvd drives as well as sata hard drives and ssd drives
A serial hard drive is the same as a SATA hard drive. SATA is Serial ATA, and PATA is Parallel ATA.
SATA hard disks are basically hard drives or optical disk drives. The prices an SATA hard disk for them vary from $50 to $200. They can be found on a variety of websites online.
Cable size, data transfer speed, and SATA is newer technology.
I assume you mean the difference between SATA or PATA hard drives. I believe it refers to the connection used inside your computer - SATA is Serial ATA for short. PATA is paralell ATA. Try googling for more info
SATA is the high speed data flow between hard drives and processors. Most new computers use SATA rather than ATA
SATA, or serial advanced technology attachment, connects the motherboard to hard drives and optical drives. This cable is inserted into the SATA slot on the motherboard.
There is difference between SATA and PATA HDD but no difference between the formatting..
Yes, SATA is used to connect the hard drives to the motherboard.
