SATA hard disk is cheaper and has high data transfer rate
compared to IDE hard disk drives. All recent motherboard has integrated SATA
port whereas some older motherboards do not have SATA port.
Usually there are two types of SATA hard disk drives
depending on manufacturers.
Some hard disk manufacturers do not provide power slot in the hard
disk where you need SATA power cable for power supply for hard disk drive as shown in the image.
In the above image power slot is readily available in the hard disk drive along with SATA power slot and a port for connecting SATA data cable, so there is no need of extra SATA power cable. You can directly plug any one power connector which comes from SMPS to hard disk power slot.
If you want to fix SATA hard disk drive to the motherboard
which does not have SATA port you have to purchase IDE to SATA/SATA to IDE dual convert adapter or USB
to SATA/IDE cable.
The USB to SATA/IDE cable has one SATA and one IDE port
which has to be connected to USB port of the computer. When SATA or IDE hard
disk connected with this cable it acts as a removable disk.
