SATA Interfaces
The conga-PA3 provides two SATA ports - a standard SATA port and a mini SATA port (shared with mini PCIe slot).
5.6.1
Standard SATA Port
The conga-PA3 provides one standard SATA port on connector CN1. This interface is routed directly from the SoC and supports data rates up
to 3GB/s.
The SATA LED signal on the feature connector X13 indicates activity on the SATA interface.

Mini SATA (shared with mini PCIe)
The mini SATA connector X9 on the conga-PA3 is used to connect mSATA devices. This connector also supports mini PCIe devices. When an
mSATA or mPCIe device is connected to X9, the conga-PA3 automatically detects the type of device that is attached.
See section 5.10.2 "Mini PCIe (shared with mini SATA)" for the mini SATA pinout description.
