The SATA interface is connected within a point to point configuration with the SATA host port. There is no master or slave relationship within the devices.

Figure 4.4 illustrates the connection for the SATA.
There are two cables for SATA drives. One is for data transmission. The other is for power. Figure 4-4 illustrates (a) device signal plug connector, (b) device power plug connector, (c) signal cable receptacle connector mating with (a), and (d) power cable receptacle connector to be mated with (b). For more information, please refer to SATA Specifications cited in the reference.
