The SATA cable is used to connect a serial hard drive to the motherboard.Serial ATA uses a serial connection, the Serial ATA bus uses embedded clock signals and has stronger error correction capabilities, the biggest difference compared to the previous one is the ability to check the transmission commands (not only the data), and if an error is detected it will be automatically corrected, which greatly improves the data transmission reliability. This greatly improves the reliability of data transmission. Serial interfaces also have the advantage of simple structure and support for hot-plugging.
Extended Information
SATA Revision 3.4:
1. Persistent/Sequential Write Notification, the SATA Revision 3.4 standard interface writes specific, critical cache data to the hard drive, which has a negligible impact on daily operations.
2. Device Temperature Monitoring. The SATA Revision 3.4 standard utilizes the SFF-8690 standard to dynamically monitor the temperature and other status of the SATA device without affecting daily operations.
3, device hibernation signal timing, SATA Revision 3.4 version of the standard to add more definitions, enhance compatibility between different manufacturers.
