SATA is the abbreviated form of Serial Advanced Technology Attachment. The current standard technology for connecting a hard drive or SSD to the rest of the computer. SATA is a single cable with a minimum of four wires that helps create a point-to-point connection between devices. If you wish, you can speed up SATA hard drives in Windows 10/8/7/Vista.
