And Engadget posted this article a couple days about a company already working on plans for a 600MB/s SSD.

So those kinds of delicious speeds are coming sooner or later.

With that said, as mentioned above, I'm disappointed that it's only 20% faster than USB3. I guess it doesn't matter when nothing really uses that much bandwidth yet, but it just doesn't feel very future proof.

Anyone know what kind of bandwidth a PCI-EX x1 lane has (I assume a x4 has 4 times that and so on)??]]>Aug 19th 2008 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/
Designed for hardware concatenation devices?

There are always reasons. Often the higher numbers give non-technical/marketing people a "reason".

Of course there is always the possibility it's entirely PR driven.]]>Aug 19th 2008 8:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/Aug 19th 2008 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_noise and related articles.

As for the merits of the new specification, I agree we won't need it for years, but I guess it's better to have it before it's needed than after it's needed (as with the Wireless-N specification debacle).]]>Aug 19th 2008 8:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/Aug 19th 2008 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/Aug 19th 2008 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/Aug 19th 2008 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/Aug 19th 2008 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/
Good. Hopefully that means WDC will make sure to release 100% compatible SATA drives in the future. The SATA-IO specifications also include connector placement, something WDC ignored with the initial release of the Velociraptor but still claimed the drive was a SATA drive.]]>Aug 19th 2008 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/Aug 19th 2008 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/giving out useless standard to force use buy expensive new hard drive.
Go spend your resources to push the SATA 2.0 devices to the limit first.]]>Aug 19th 2008 10:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/Aug 19th 2008 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/I read your replies on different posts.
You are always try to attacking the repliers. It is such a pity.
Anyway, saying Maroon 5 is good , but you never say the other is a moron because it is personal.]]>Aug 20th 2008 8:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/sata-revision-3-0-specification-to-double-transfer-speeds-to-6gb/
