SATA (Serial ATA) is the current interface standard for hard drives, optical drives, and other storage devices in a computer.
Secure latching SATA cable designed for new system boards and SATA hard drives. The LSATA6 SATA Cable features two latching 7-pin data receptacles and supports full SATA 3.0 bandwidth of up to 6Gbps when used with SATA 3.0 compliant drives. The latching connectors lock when connected to a supporting (latchable) SATA port, ensuring a snug, and secured data connection every time to prevent accidental disconnects.
