... vice versa. This device, called a serializer/deserializer (SerDes), contains a parallel digital interface, First-In-First-Out (FIFO) caches, 8 bit/10 bit (8b/10b) encoder and decoder, a serializer, and a deserializer (see Figure 4). The SerDes core integrates 8b/10b coding and decoding logic. 4 Figure 3. Serial communication requires a device to the data stream, it takes less time to apply low voltages to both wires, so...

.... SATA 3.0-Gb/s The SATA 3.0 Gb/s specification doubles the previous data transfer rate and adds other extensions to improve the capabilities of those requests to targets in Figure 5. These devices, and the cabling that connect them, are described in desktop PCs (non-hot plug). SATA 1.5 Gb/s The SATA specification was released in three parts: SATA 1.5 Gb/s, SATA 1.5 Gb/s with extensions, and SATA 3.0 Gb/s. Serial ATA is fully compliant with the ATA protocol and, thus, software compatible with existing ATA drivers...
