Serial ATA Interface

Overview Serial ATA was designed to overcome a number of limitations of parallel ATA. Serial ATA v1.0 specification was developed by Serial ATA Working Group, and this published specification is in the process of being adopted by ANSI T13 public committee into its ATA/ATAPI 7 specification. At the same time, Serial ATA II Working Group is developing extensions to the v1.0 specification, as to allow Serial ATA HDDs be used in the entry level server and storage system applications. The white paper goes on to explain the features and specifications of this new technology.
