The what is the difference in function between a SATA cable and an eSATA cable?
eSATA is a SATA connector accessible from outside the computer, to provide a signal (but not power) connection for external storage devices.
What is an IDE/PATA cable?
IDE and PATA, in modern terms, just refer to the same type of hard drive that uses flat, ribbon-type cables that were in predominant use prior to the introduction of SATA. (Old style Ribbon Internal Storage Wires).
What is an SAS cable?
An SAS cable is known as a Serial Attached SCSI and it just refers to how to cable is attached via a thin band.
What is an SCSI connector?
