A technician is installing a 6 Gb/s SATA solid-state drive in a desktop PC. To ensure the drive operates at its full transfer rate, which internal data cable should the technician use to connect the drive to the motherboard?
A coaxial RG-6 cable
A standard 7-pin SATA data cable
A FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) cable
A USB 3.0 Type-A to Type-B cable
SATA Revision 3.0 (6 Gb/s) uses the same 7-pin data cable and connector introduced with earlier SATA revisions. Any standard, good-quality SATA data cable can carry the full 6 Gb/s signal, so the technician simply needs a standard 7-pin SATA data cable. USB, FireWire, and coaxial cables are for different interfaces and will not connect a SATA drive.
