Serial Advance Technology Attachment
In computer hardware, SATA is a computer bus technology primarily designed for transfer of data to and from a hard disk. It is the successor to the legacy Advanced Technology Attachment standard (ATA). This older technology was retroactively renamed Parallel ATA (PATA) to distinguish it from Serial ATA. Both SATA and PATA drives have the low level control integrated into the drive but the term IDE is usually restricted to parallel ATA drives.
