Molex Serial ATA Connectors
Molex Serial ATA Connectors are designed to meet the demand for higher data transfer rates. The Serial ATA Connectors are available in various configurations, including External SATA, Micro SATA, and Slimline SATA, which all meet various power and signal supply requirements in the Data/Computing and Telecom/Networking industries. As primary internal storage interconnects for desktop and mobile PCs, Serial ATA connects act as the host system to peripherals such as SSDs, optical drives, hard drives, and removable magnetic media devices. SATA hard drives enable the integration of higher capacity, cost-effective storage solutions in networking applications.
