The extra transfer speed is said to suit applications such as gaming and streaming video as well as scientific and technical work. SATA-IO, the Serial ATA International Organization, has requested that the new standard is referred to as either "SATA 6Gb/s" or "SATA Revision 3.0", but not "SATA III or SATA 3.0" The world's first public demonstration of SATA 6Gb/s storage took place at the Everything Channel Xchange Conference this week and involved a prototype Barracuda 6Gb/sec drive and a prototype AMD chipset. Where a production 3Gb/sec Barracuda delivered better than 2.5Gb/sec, the prototype 6Gb/sec unit pumped through 5.5Gb/sec. In addition to greater bandwidth, SATA 6Gb/s incorporates improvements to Native Command Queuing for increased throughput. What did the vendors have to say for themselves? See page 2. |
