An [Acronym] for __S__erial [ATA].

A high speed alternative for [SCSI] harddrives. The performance of [SATA]-1 compliant devices is equivalent with 10,000 [RPM] [SCSI] drives (Ultra160/Ultra320).

!! Serial ATA Hard-Drives/Controllers Useable in Linux

! Silicon Images SiL3112A PCI Two-Port Serial ATA Controller

FedoraCore 1 recognises this hardware when booting from CD. It will also will happily install/boot to/from a 160 [GB] [SATA] [HDD] from [CDROM] after it recognises and configures the Silicon Images [PCI] card.

''ElroyLiddington says "Serial ATA -> controllers -> SiI3112/3112A -> SiI3112A: Linux SATA Drivers", but it's not clear on which site that is supposed to be.'' --AristotlePagaltzis
