New specification does 6Gbit/sec. transfers, backward compatible with earlier SATA
The Serial ATA International Organization today released the SATA Revision 3.0 specification, which doubles data transfer speeds from 3Gbit/sec. to 6Gbit/sec.
The specification (PDF document) was originally introduced last August, but has since been going through a comment stage of development. Now vendors are free to implement the specification in products, including hard-disk drives and solid-state disk storage devices.
John Rydning, research director for hard-disk drives at IDC, said the new SATA Revision 3.0 specification will help to solidify SATA as the predominant storage device interface technology for the foreseeable future.
