Initially
SATA was designed as an internal or inside-the-box interface
technology, bringing improved performance and new features
to internal PC or consumer storage. Creative designers quickly
realized the innovative interface could reliably be expanded
outside the PC, bringing the same performance and features
to external storage needs instead of relying on USB or 1394
interfaces.
