Description

1261392 曰Revision 5, invention description (1) [Technical field of invention] =: There is a "connection module", especially a interface module that utilizes the two-dimensional specification module to engage with the computer casing, Various computers are plugged in again to achieve data exchange. [Prior Art] The development of information technology and the human life form often interact. The hard disk of the early computer is installed in the computer's casing. In order to save the data, backup, portability, security, etc., the development is extracted. Devices such as hard disk extraction boxes, etc., and the ATA (AT Attachment) transmission interface is an interface specification for communication between a computer and a hard disk drive or an optical disk drive, and can quickly and convictly transfer a large amount of data therebetween. With advances in technology and technology, Ultra ATA, Ultra ATA/66 (or / 1 Ο Ο ) have been developed in the above-mentioned interface specifications, which not only greatly increases the rate of data transmission, but also improves the accuracy of data transmission. However, recently, the industry has proposed a serial AT A (SATA), which has a higher data transmission rate than the currently common IDE, USB, IEEE 139 4 and other interfaces, and is much higher than ATA/. lOO100b/sec, the SATA is an extension of the ATA (AT Attachment) transmission interface, and the main feature of s Α τ A is that it is compatible with the hardware specifications of the existing ATA, the difference is only: sAT^ data signal The AC terminal is switched from parallel mode to serial mode. This not only increases the transmission rate, but also acts as a hot-plug. Thus, U.S. Patent No. 6,71,591, 594 discloses a SATA interface transmission connector having a connector on the back panel of the outer frame, the inside of the connector
