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
