back to top What is SATA? What are its benefits?

Celeros - Bringing SANity to Storage Costs
Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) is a disk drive implementation that integrates the controller on the disk drive itself. Initial interface to ATA was a parallel interface called Parallel ATA or PATA. Serial ATA or SATA is an evolution of the PATA and is a serial link -- a single cable with a minimum of four wires creates a point-to-point connection between devices. Transfer rates for Serial ATA begin at 150MBps. Future rates have been planned for up to 600MBps.

What is SATA?

XtraDisk FAQs Page
The Serial ATA (SATA) interface represents a great advance in storage technology. The requirement for faster data throughput has evolved with applications like digital video creation, editing & production. Serial ATA is the evolution of the ATA hard drive interface from parallel architecture to serial. Advancements to the interface encompass greater speed, more efficient cabling and advanced features for integration into servers and networked storage environments.

Does DBAN have SATA support?

Darik's Boot and Nuke FAQ
If DBAN does not detect a SATA controller running in native mode, then run the controller setup program and enable the "legacy PATA support" option. (ie: "Push <F2> to enter setup" when the computer starts.) SATA drivers for new computers will be added to DBAN as they are published for Linux. Drivers for Microsoft Windows are incompatible with DBAN and cannot be added to DBAN.

What is Serial ATA (SATA)?

PCICASE GROUP -- CASES AND STORAGE PROFESSIONAL
Serial ATA is the latest standard in IDE(Atapi) devices. The maximum speed of Serial ATA is 150MB/s (the maximum speed of Parallel ATA is 133MB/s, the ATA133 standard). The cable for serial ATA has a minimum of 4 wires (extra ground wires can be applied), a 7-pin connectro and a maximum length of 1metre (about 3.1 feet). Because of the serial protocol only 1 device can be connected to each cable.

Q2: What is the difference between SAS and SATA?

welcome
A2: Infrastructure scalability is the primary difference. Very high capacity storage arrays will be able to be built with SAS. While there are very few feature differences between the two serial interfaces, SAS systems will be much more expensive. As with SCSI, there is a significant price premium paid for SAS drives compared to SATA drives. In fact, there is even a significant price premium for SAS drives compared to SCSI drives.

What is the difference between SATA and IDE?

Hard Drive Frequently Asked Questions
The first thing you'll notice is the interface. SATA drives have a single cable with a small connector, while an IDE drive will have a flat ribbon cable. SATA drives have a faster data transfer rate. Your motherboard must be able to support a SATA drive. Otherwise, you'll need to buy an IDE drive.

Celeros - Bringing SANity to Storage Costs
EzSAN have enabled organizations to more effectively share, consolidate, and manage storage resources than was possible with Direct Attached Storage (DAS). The shift from server-centric storage to networked storage has been dependent on the development of technologies that can transfer data to and from storage as fast as, or faster than, direct attached technologies while also overcoming the limitations inherent in parallel SCSI, the dominant interconnect for DAS.

How do I install a SATA drive under Windows 2000/XP?

Leadtek - We make dreams a reality
The Serial ATA controller cannot be automatically recognized under Windows 2000/XP installation. You will need to install drivers for SATA controller prior to installing Windows 2000/XP. If you do not install the SATA controller drivers, Windows will not recognize the SATA drive. The drivers for SATA controller are available on floppy disks during operating system installation process. If you have CDs only, copy the driver into the floppy disks before attempting to install Windows 2000/XP.

Is installation on SATA harddrives supported by DebianInstaller?

DebianInstaller/FAQ - Debian Wiki
The Sarge version of the installer has very limited support for SATA. The versions available for Etch use more recent kernels that have very much improved SATA support. So if you don't really need Sarge your best option is to use the Etch version of the installer and install Etch. You can try the 2.4.27 kernel which is default in the Sarge installer. This kernel includes some support for SATA. Install using the Linux 2.
