Serial ATA Sata Hard Drive Data Cable Lead

Product Information

ATA is a very common connection for internal drives in older PCs and older desktop Macs (before G5), and for devices like CD and DVD drives in modern PCs and Macs. It is a connector about 2 inches (5 cm) wide and has 40 small gold pins that will fit into the corresponding 40 small holes on its corresponding connector.

DevSleep enables lower power consumption for always-on devices while they are in low-power modes such as InstantGo (which used to be known as Connected Standby). [38] When it comes to SATA power cables, 15-pole, power and data all have the same pitch of connector pins, but each has a different number of ways. Both USB and eSATA devices can be used with an eSATAp port, when plugged in with a USB or eSATA cable, respectively. An eSATA device cannot be powered via an eSATAp cable, but a special cable can make both SATA or eSATA and power connectors available from an eSATAp port.

Prior to the final eSATA 6Gbit/s specification many add-on cards and some motherboards advertised eSATA 6Gbit/s support because they had 6Gbit/s SATA 3.0 controllers for internal-only solutions. Those implementations are non-standard, and eSATA 6Gbit/s requirements were ratified in the July 18, 2011 SATA 3.1 specification. [68] Some products might not be fully eSATA 6Gbit/s compliant.USB Cable Assemblies - allow for simple "plug & play" connections for devices such as keyboards/mice, digital cameras and printers. Although most PCs in recent years have used SATA devices, there are a few different types that are worth noting. SATA was first introduced in 2000, replacing the aged PATA ribbon cables. It was revised in 2003 and again in 2004 and 2008, bringing SATA to version three, commonly referred to as SATA III or 3.0. These standards increased speed and added additional features to allow for faster and more reliable storage drives, but didn’t change the physical look of the SATA connector itself. SATA III is the most common SATA interface used today, though there have been five revisions since its introduction, namely 3.1 through 3.5.

Released in June 2018, SATA revision 3.4 introduced the following features that enable monitoring of device conditions and execution of housekeeping tasks, both with minimal impact on performance: [44] Device Sleep Signal Timing: provides additional definition to enhance compatibility between manufacturers’ implementations.

The USB cable has two ends - one to connect into the drive, and one to connect into the computer. See in this image the 'A' connector, which will fit into a corresponding rectangular port on your computer. Sometimes these ports are found both on the front and the rear of your computer. Usually it is OK to connect the drive either to the front or to the rear, though if trouble occurs, it is best to connect it to the port on the rear.

Some SATA drives include a small power adapter that plugs in to the normal power cable inside an older PC or Mac so that it will fit the SATA drive. The eSATA connector has a design-life of 5,000 matings; the ordinary SATA connector is only specified for 50.

Desktop computers without a built-in eSATA interface can install an eSATA host bus adapter (HBA); if the motherboard supports SATA, an externally available eSATA connector can be added. Notebook computers with the now rare Cardbus [65] or ExpressCard [66] could add an eSATA HBA. With passive adapters, the maximum cable length is reduced to 1 metre (3.3ft) due to the absence of compliant eSATA signal-levels. Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is an open host controller interface published and used by Intel, which has become a de facto standard. It allows the use of advanced features of SATA such as hotplug and native command queuing (NCQ). If AHCI is not enabled by the motherboard and chipset, SATA controllers typically operate in "IDE [b] emulation" mode, which does not allow access to device features not supported by the ATA (also called IDE) standard.The SFF-8639 connector was renamed to a more consumer friendly U.2. This connector is used with some new NVMe SSDs. U.2 utilizes 4 PCIe 3.0 lanes to provide speeds much faster than the SATA interface. Since most motherboards do not have a U.2 connector on them, a M.2 to U.2, or PCIe to U.2 adapter can be used. Unlike PATA cables, SATA cables can be disconnected or connected to your computer’s motherboard while the computer is still running through a process known as hot-swapping. SATA Versions The M.2 standard is designed as a revision and improvement to the mSATA standard, so that larger printed circuit boards (PCBs) can be manufactured. While mSATA took advantage of the existing PCI Express Mini Card form factor and connector, M.2 has been designed to maximize usage of the card space, while minimizing the footprint. [78] [79] [80]
