TheCableCentral offers a wide selection of wholesale serial ATA cables and accessories that have each been hand-selected by our experts for their superior long-term performance. Serial ATA cables, or SATA cables (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment), are similar to IDE cables in that they are used for connecting and transferring data between external hard drives and computer motherboards. Because they are smaller and less intrusive than traditional IDE cables, more and more people are making the switch to serial ATA cables because of their two key advantages:

1.) IDE cables operate using parallel signals, which involves multiples bits of data being transferred via many different wires at the same time. While a faster solution, this process does run into some problems, as the many different signals being sent can cause electrical interference that negates the speed or disrupts the connection entirely. Serial ATA cables run on a serial signal that allows them to cleanly transfer data in a more uniform and reliable fashion.

2.) The wide, fat cables of a parallel IDE system are not only difficult to route, but excessive wires can greatly impede airflow, which can lead to dangerous overheating. Since serial ATA cables are smaller in diameter, they are able to improve air-flow of your computer and help to preserve its long-term performance.
