What Is Serial ATA?

With LSI Logic’s Serial ATA solutions, you can take advantage of an evolutionary replacement for the Parallel ATA physical storage interface. Serial ATA is scalable and allows future enhancements to the computing platform, with a roadmap expecting to span over 10 years.

Other advantages of Serial ATA include:

•Easier upgrade of storage devices

•Point-to-point configuration

•Hot pluggable drive support

•Improved power management

•Simpler configuration, without many of the previous requirements on jumper and settings

•Thinner Serial ATA cables, up to one meter long, to address concerns about airflow and allow smaller and more versatile chassis designs

•Improved silicon designs, for lower pin counts and lower voltages
