Revolutionary new storage interface: Serial ATA
The spec of Serial ATA 1.0 is co-made in 2001 by APT, DELL, Intel, Seagate, Maxtor,
etc. The initial main purpose of SATA is to replace ATA, relative to ATA, SATA has many
revolutionary improvements:
Finer cable to solve the space management issue within the computer
frame.
Faster and more effective serial transmission enables the transmission
speed of 1.5Gb, 3Gps, 6Gps.
Less pin count.
More power-saving
More direct connection, no M/S setting is necessary.
Support hot-swap
These milestone improvements have made SATA a even friendly product than SCSI
and FC, to storage system itself, the superiority in price/performance ratio has mande
SATA the optimum replacement for SCSI or FC. In the past, ATA hard disc is inferior to
SCSI in both speed or stability, plus the limitation in cable length, it is thus not widely
used in the enterprise storage environment, however, the new generation SATA
interface seems to re-write the hard disc history. SATA Workgroup has made a seven
year plan for SATA spec in one time, this includes the main specs of SATA first
generation (1.5Gb), second generation (3.0Gb) and third generation (6.0Gb), even the
related storage in NAS is planned, SATA is never inferior to SCSI in terms of its
superior transmission speed and more advanced functions. Most importantly, it inherits
the low price superiority of ATA, it is believed to gradually penetrates into the SCSI’s
application in enterprise storage market. The reasons are as in the followings:
ATA hard disc has become more stable and mature in technology.
Price superiority, with price of 2 to 3 times lower than SCSI.
Breakthrough design in spec and function.
Optimum price/performance ratio
Spec comparison between Serial ATA and traditional Parallel ATA
Spec comparison Parallel ATA (parallel) Serial ATA (serial)
Software
compatibility
- Compatible to Parallel ATA software
Price
- Similar to parallel ATA (but higher in price
in the first step)
