www.seagate.com 1.1 About the SATA interface The Serial ATA (SATA) interface provides several advantages over the traditional (parallel) ATA interface. The primary advantages include: � Easy installation and configuration with true plug-and-play connectivity. It is not necessary to set any jumpers or other configuration options. � Thinner and more flexible cabling for improved enclosure airflow and ease of installation. � Scalability to higher performance levels. In addition, SATA makes the tran
