SATA Cable 3.0/6G Hard Drive Connection Data Cable

Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) or Serial ATA cables are used to connect devices in computer cable assemblies, such as storage devices, for example.

The SATA technology itself is a connecter interface primarily used for computer bus connections in storage applications. In this application, the cables are used to connect a mass storage device (e.g. hard disk drives, optical drives, solid-state memory drives) to a host bus adapter such as a motherboard.

SATA cables can connect a range of devices, including:

• Hard drives
• Optical drives
• Solid-state memory drives

Hot plugging is also possible with supported SATA cables. This process involves adding or removing devices in a computer setup while the system is running. The hot plugging functionality is also useful because it means that operating systems can automatically recognise devices added without needing to perform a full restart.
