The SATA Host Core is available for integration into host FPGA designs to provide an industry-compliant SATA 1.5-Gbps, SATA 3.0-Gbps, and SATA 6.0-Gbps interface. Serial ATA (SATA) are computer bus standards that have the primary function of transferring data (directly or otherwise) between the FPGA and mass storage devices such as a hard disk. SATA host controller along with AHCI controller enables the software to communicate with the SATA drives which are best suited for SOC devices.
