Which of the following internal data-cable types is most commonly used to attach 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch hard disk drives to a desktop PC motherboard?
Serial ATA (SATA)
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
NVMe (M.2) interface
Parallel ATA (PATA/IDE)
Serial ATA (SATA) uses a narrow 7-conductor data cable inside the computer case to link hard drives to the motherboard. Parallel ATA (PATA/IDE) ribbon cables were common in older systems, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is typically found in servers and workstations, and NVMe M.2 drives plug directly into a slot rather than using a separate data cable.
