About Serial ATA (SATA) Drives

Your computer supports up to four serial ATA hard drives and two serial ATA optical drives. SATA drives provide the following benefits by transferring data

using serial technology and flexible cables that are thinner and longer than IDE cables:

Improved cable routing facilitates more efficient airflow inside the chassis.

Compact cable connectors save space on the system board and on the hard drive, allowing for more efficient utilization of space inside the chassis.
