SG0-001 · Question #135

In a SATA environment, which of the following types of data transfer is performed? (Select TWO).

The correct answer is A. LB As E. Serial. In a SATA environment, data is transferred serially using Logical Block Addressing (LBA) to access storage blocks.

Why each option

In a SATA environment, data is transferred serially using Logical Block Addressing (LBA) to access storage blocks.

ALB AsCorrect

SATA drives utilize Logical Block Addressing (LBA) to address data blocks, abstracting the physical geometry of the drive for the operating system and applications.

BMultiplex

Multiplexing is not a core characteristic describing the fundamental data transfer mechanism within a SATA interface.

CPipelined

Pipelining is a technique typically associated with processor instruction execution or network data flow, not a primary type of data transfer in a SATA environment.

DParallel

Parallel data transfer is characteristic of older PATA (Parallel ATA) interfaces, not SATA, which was developed as a serial replacement.

ESerialCorrect

The 'S' in SATA stands for Serial, indicating that data is transmitted bit by bit over a single data line, in contrast to parallel interfaces.
