StarTech.com's new SATA18 cable embraces the new standard of Serial ATA connection, which boasts data transfer speeds of up to 150 Mbps. The SATA18 connects the system board with any ATA and ATAI devices, including hard drives, CD-ROMs, CD-RWs, DVDs, tape devices, high capacity removable devices, and Zip drives.¤¤Serial ATA specifies a point-to-point connection that allows for easy cable routing within a system. This avoids master/slave, "daisy-chaining" and termination issues. Also, better airflow can be realized compared to systems with wider ribbon cables.
