Next Gen ATA Drives - Not Quite Serial

Published: | Posted By:

As I alluded to in the title this is still a parallel ATA hard drive with a few enhancements to tide us over until SATA is released.

"Some of you may say "But SATA increases bandwidth to 150MB/s." True, but the only way you're going to see improvements is through the burst speed of your drives and a 17MB/s advantage over the latest PATA standard, which isn't that much. When the densities of drives start getting higher and maybe a 10k spindle speed increase, we will start seeing drives flex their SATA muscle. "
