Notes for installing SATA hard disk drive
• Serial ATA (SATA) interface
provides higher data transmission
speed, and better voltage tolerance.
The narrow design of the SATA
cable also solves cabling issues
and allows better airflow in the
chassis.
• The SATA power cable connector
is different from the traditional
4‑pin power connector. ASUS
motherboard bundles power adapter
cables for you in case your power
supply unit does not include this
new connector.
