footprint connector reduces board space requirements and improves air flow and heat exchange inside
computer systems.
SATA uses point to point connection topology and each channel works independently. There is no
sharing of interface, master/slave drive configuration, and no master/slave jumper settings. This is
different from Parallel ATA (PATA) architecture where 2 drives per port are supported by a shared bus
and drives are designated as master or slave drive based on jumper pin or cable selection. Unlike
parallel ATA, SATA drives are hot-plug and hot-swappable.
Serial ATA II: Extensions to Serial ATA 1.0a specification incorporate new features including Pin 11
Definition for Activity LED and staggered spin-up control, Phy Event Counters, Software Settings
Preservation, Native Command queuing, Hot-Plugging, and port multiplier, etc.
