Line 1: − + − The first Serial ATA type connection was released in late 2002. Serial ATA/150 offers a net transfer speed of 150 MB/s, as the name suggests. Later, Serial ATA/300 was released, which doubled the transfer speed. As with the previous, the speed is in the title--it has a net transfer speed of 300MB/s. Another small benefit is that Serial ATA cables are narrower that the older [[Parallel ATA]] ribbon cables. This means that SATA cables to not restrict air flow as much as its predecessor.<ref>http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/silicon-image-brings-virtualization-esata,1610-2.html</ref>+ + + + + + + + + + + +
Finished my work on this page for now (I think)
'''Serial ATA''' (SATA) ('''Serial Advanced Technology Attachment''') is the current standard of computer connection used to attach memory devices such as [[hard drive]]s or [[Solid-state drive]]s to the [[motherboard]]. It has almost completely replaced [[Integrated Drive Electronics|IDE connections]] (Integrated Drive Electronics), also known as [[Parallel ATA]].
'''Serial ATA''' ('''Serial Advanced Technology Attachment''') is the current standard of computer connection used to attach data storage devices such as [[hard drive]]s or [[Solid-state drive]]s to the [[motherboard]]. Technically, it is referred to as "a bus interface between host bus [adapters] and mass storage devices."<ref>http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/io/serial-ata/serial-ata-developer.html</ref> It has almost completely replaced [[Integrated Drive Electronics|IDE connections]] (Integrated Drive Electronics), also known as [[Parallel ATA]].

The [[Serial ATA International Organization]] (SATA-IO) tracks improvements and reports on them, while working to maintain an industry standard of SATA technology which will be versatile and reliable. With each new SATA version that is released, SATA-IO releases a review explaining differences, such as [http://serialata.org/sites/default/files/images/SATA%20Spec%203%203%20Press%20Release_FINAL.pdf this review on SATA 3.3].
==Disadvantages==
The SATA communication system uses more power that PATA systems. This is especially a concern if it is used in a laptop or other portable device.<ref name="tomshardware.com">http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/silicon-image-brings-virtualization-esata,1610-2.html</ref>
