SATA cable made to the highest possible standard, features as follows:
-
Serial ATA (SATA) Cable. 7pin to 7pin
-
One to one connections. Each SATA Hard Drive needs a separate cable.
-
SATA 1.5Gb/s and 3Gb/s (also known as SATA II) compatible. (compatible with Sata I and Sata II)
-
Length 0.6M (ideal for internal PC connection)
Serial ATA or SATA cables have been designed as a replacement for the existing 40 way IDE cable. The Serial ATA connectors and cables are smaller, which improves air circulation, wiith a reduced operating voltage and pin amount (7 as opposed to 40), the current data transfer rate is ATA-150 (1.5Gbps). The IDE adaptor allows backwards compatibility with existing IDE and ATAPI devices and converts them for use with SATA. Each connected serial ATA device or conversion needs its own cable, this removes the old master/slave set-up and allows for improved data transmission and access speed.
