The Computer was a truly fascinating invention for its time. However, it\u2019s fascinating to know that the word computer itself meant a very different just a hundred years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a long time, \u201cComputers\u201d were humans who were able to perform complicated arithmetics and computations in a short period of time. As much as I would like nothing more than delving into the entire history of human computers. My point is that the things that we take for granted were nowhere near possible just a few decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, progress in technology also means complications. And I think even people who don\u2019t have a technical background in computers should be aware of some key parts of it. After all, you use it every day, it doesn\u2019t hurt to know what\u2019s exactly heating up under the hood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of these key components in a computer is SATA Ports. A lot of people are unaware of what SATA ports actually are, and many are familiar with the name but are confused as to what they actually do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So below is a brief explanation of what SATA ports are and what they do for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think of a SATA (or Serial ATA) port as a bridge between your Hard Drive and the motherboards. These ports are usually called Connectors because of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Usually, a motherboard has a couple of SATA ports, but depending on the model or the computer that you\u2019re using this number might vary accordingly. The Data that\u2019s supposed to flow from the motherboard to the drive and vice-versa is carried through something called the SATA data cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019ve owned a PC for a long time then there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ve seen a SATA port. However, people who\u2019ve always used a laptop may not have seen it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below are some images of SATA ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
