SATA Cable
A SATA cable is a standard 7-pin data cable used to connect internal storage drives (like HDDs, SSDs, and optical drives) to a computer motherboard
- Speed: Modern red SATA cables typically support SATA III (6 Gb/s) speeds, while remaining fully backward compatible with older SATA II (3 Gb/s) and SATA I (1.5 Gb/s) standards.
- Connectors: They feature 7-pin female connectors on both ends, often with locking latches to prevent the cable from accidentally working loose inside a PC case
