SATA - Serial Advanced Technology Attachment.

 

This is a connected commonly found on Hard Drives (HDD) and Solid State Drives) as well as Optical Drives. These connectors send data from peripheral devices to the computer.

 

Example: You connect a SATA cable to your Hard Drive to that the computer (or CPU) can read the sata off the drive.

The difference between atx and itx is the size of the motherboard/case.  ATX is standard, then MATX (micro), then ITX which is the smallest standard size.  There are larger sizes too.  EATX, etc.
