SATA ADVANTAGES

Serial ATA (SATA) transmits signals in a single stream,
which delivers the entire available interface bandwidth to
each device, allowing them to operate at their maximum
throughput. SATA works best in storage environments that
require high data throughput to deliver large files quickly
and efficiently, maximizing storage system utilization and
enhancing productivity.
