An active member of the working group that developed and specified the Serial ATA* interconnect standard, Amphenol leads the connector industry in with the largest growing family of Serial ATA interconnect solutions that support this platform. Along with the digital revolution, the ability to create, store and distribute vast amounts of music data and games is continually driving demand for higher speed, higher capacity storage drives with increasingly smaller form factors.

This has opened up new storage applications for Serial ATA as hard disk drives are increasingly being designed into a growing number of HDD-DVD recorders, home servers, multimedia hubs, LCD TVs, digital jukeboxes, HDD-enabled game consoles, audio players and automobile audio visual products.
