The need for mass storage devices with higher operational performance and low power consumption is being driven by consumer electronics and enterprise-class storage systems. Serial ATA (SATA) is the mass storage interface of choice for hard disk drives, optical disk drives and the newer NAND flash-based solid state drives, making the architecture and feature set of the SATA interface one of the most important aspects of the SoC design. This paper will highlight a set of easy-to-implement methods and best practices to help achieve performance goals while maintaining low power consumption for the overall system.
