SATA Revision 3.0 Spec Released

While the Serial ATA International Organization (SATA-IO) introduced the SATA Revision 3.0 specification in August of last year, they’ve just now completed and released it.

SATA 3.0 will double transfer speeds to 6Gbps, and will be fully backwards compatible with earlier versions of SATA. And, for those of you looking forward, you’ll enjoy the new streaming commands for isochronous data transfers between audio and video applications, and the Low Insertion Force (LIF) connector for smaller 1.8-inch drives.

It’s expected that there will be demonstrations of SATA 3.0 at Computex, but there’s no real word on how long it’ll take for this technology to make its way to the masses.

Ah sata, if you're as flawless as your predecessors, you'll be implemented without a backwards compabality hitch. PCI-e is equally as good, new spec comes out, old stuff works with new stuff, new with old. Brilliant!       -Denis

You guys are using drupal, right?
