* The [[SATA Express]] specification defines an interface that combines both SATA and [[PCI Express]] buses, making it possible for both types of storage devices to coexist. By employing PCI Express, a much higher theoretical throughput of 1969&nbsp;MB/s is possible.<ref>[http://www.sata-io.org/technology/sataexpress.asp Enabling Higher Speed Storage Applications with SATA Express] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121127010238/http://www.sata-io.org/technology/sataexpress.asp |date=2012-11-27 }}, Serial ATA International Organization.</ref><ref>[http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2013/08/13/sata-32/1 SATA-IO announces 16Gb/s SATA 3.2 specification] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140330051453/http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2013/08/13/sata-32/1 |date=2014-03-30 }}.</ref>
