    Serial ATA
    Posted by Vangie "Aurora" Beal: December 20th

    Serial ATA, the new interface standard for fast-talking disk drives, received a considerable boost this week. The Serial ATA Working Group has published a draft of the 1.0 specification for the new interface for disk drives--ranging from hard drives to CD-rewriteables--that would double the bandwidth of the interface between these drives and other PC components. Serial ATA 1.0 is intended primarily to make sure that the hard-drive interface used by a PC can keep up with the data rates for the drives. However, Serial ATA will also help assure that disk drives can keep up with the performance of the new gigahertz-plus PCs. [Source: ZDNETII]

    Of course another set of advantages are;

    1. no ribbon cables

    2. no slave drives

    3. can you even imagine a SerialATA RAID card? SerialTrak? SATATrak? Hmmm....
