— an accessory with a USB-A connector on one side and a SATA on the other.USB-A is the most popular modern interface for connecting external peripherals to a computer. SATA, in turn, is used for internal drives, mainly hard drives. USB-A to SATA cables (typically these are cables, see "Type") are primarily intended for connecting such devices to USB ports—in other words, essentially using internal drives as external ones. Note that the package for such cables usually includes a power adapter that needs to be plugged into an outlet.
