How many pins does a SATA data cable have?

The correct answer is: 7

A SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) data cable has 7 pins. This configuration allows for the transfer of data between the motherboard and storage devices like SSDs and HDDs. The 7-pin connector is specifically designed to support high-speed data transmissions while being relatively compact to fit within the confines of modern computer cases and components. Understanding the specifications of connectors is vital in A+ certification, as it ensures compatibility between different hardware components.
