Serial ATA info @ Explosive Labs

Serial ATA is a much-anticipated replacement to the current parallel ATA spec. It promises to provide higher bandwidth and better performance to ATA devices while reducing the amount of wires needed to make the connection. Being that this is new technology you won't find any Serial ATA drives on the market and even if you did they will still be the bottleneck.

" Serial ATA II will debut in 2004 offering 300MB/s of bandwidth, but unless some more advanced hard drives are developed, the bandwidth might go to waste. Things get even better in 2007 with Serial ATA III and its gargantuan 600MB/s. Serial ATA II and III will be fed from new peripheral technology, most likely PCI express, to deliver all that bandwidth."

hehe they said "gargantuan"
