About the SATA interface
The Serial ATA (SATA) interface provides several advantages over the traditional (parallel) ATA interface. The 
primary advantages include:
• Easy installation and configuration with true plug-and-play connectivity. It is not necessary to set any jumpers 
or other configuration options.
• Thinner and more flexible cabling for improved enclosure airflow and ease of installation.
• Scalability to higher performance levels.
In addition, SATA makes the transition from parallel ATA easy by providing legacy software support. SATA was 
designed to allow you to install a SATA host adapter and SATA disk drive in your current system and expect all of 
your existing applications to work as normal.
The SATA interface connects each disk drive in a point-to-point configuration with the SATA host adapter. There is 
no master/slave relationship with SATA devices like there is with parallel ATA. If two drives are attached on one 
SATA host adapter, the host operating system views the two devices as if they were both “masters” on two 
separate ports. This essentially means both drives behave as if they are Device 0 (master) devices.
