 Serial
ATA (SATA) hard drives are quickly becoming the new
standard in hard drive technology. Motherboard
manufacturers now include SATA inputs on their boards.
SATA hard drives result in less clutter and increased
airflow in the computer system because SATA cables are 400
percent narrower than EIDE cables. Some older computer
system motherboards don?t have SATA ports, but a PCI SATA
controller card can be installed to add support for SATA
drives.
