No SATA is the interface. You mean SSD.

“really? I understood that meant it was a solid state drive.”

Sata is a description of the common serial interface. Both disk drives and SSD’s use SATA.

The other common serial interface is USB.

SATA is used for the motherboard to talk to ONE device while USB polls the several devices that may be on a USB bus.
