The SATA is a host interface dedicated for mass storage memory devices. SATA aims to connect SATA disk drive compliant SSD (SATA solid state drive) or HDD (hard disk drive) for mass storage use case only.
The mass storage device (SSD or HDD) is intended to be connected through SATA standard connector (in case of HDD) or directly soldered on the board (in case of SSD). In the latter case, the SATA mass-storage device is actually permanently attached to the device.
The device embedded SATA host controller has a single port (P0) implementation, and one internal electrical transceiver (SATA_PHY). For more information on the device-embedded SATA (SATA AHCI core and wrapper), see Section 24.8, SATA Controller. For more details on SATA subsystem integrated SATA PHY transceiver components, see Section 26.1, SATA PHY Subsystem. A system integration block diagram is provided in following section.
