A next-generation technology, Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface connects storage devices to the PC platform. SATA point-to-point topology provides a direct path between the storage device and the PC enabling easy aggregation of multiple storage devices into a single PC. This offers you the additional benefits of dedicated bandwidth, the ability to more easily identify device failures and scalability.
