A SATA (Serial ATA) cable is a data cable used to connect storage devices such as hard drives (HDD), solid-state drives (SSD), and optical drives to a computer’s motherboard. It supports fast data transfer between these devices and the system. The cable typically has a flat, narrow design with two connectors—one for the storage device and the other for the motherboard. SATA cables are available in various lengths, commonly around 30-50 cm. They come in different versions, like SATA I, SATA II, and SATA III, each supporting different data transfer speeds, with SATA III reaching up to 6 Gbps.
