With the SATA acronym it has some trouble resolving, so I became curious. Here’s what I’ve found:
“AT” was IBM’s abbreviation for “Advanced Technology”; thus, many companies and organizations indicate SATA is an abbreviation of “Serial Advanced Technology Attachment”. However, the ATA specifications simply use the name “AT Attachment”, to avoid possible trademark issues with IBM.
