A SSD drive can be a SATA drive. SATA is the connection/protocol between the drive and the computer.
Not quite. SATA is a type of drive, same as IDE / ATA, SCSI, SATA :)
SATA is the connection. This is why you can have SATA hard drives and DVD drives. The same goes for IDE, SCSI, USB, and Firewire. They are connection types for accessing storage devices. They can connect to traditional hard drives, SSD drives, DVD drives, raid enclosures, etc.
