- World's first desktop storage platform to support native
Serial ATA,
Seagate Technology, A Native in Serial ATA Still in its early
market entry stage, Serial ATA provides immediate benefits
to desktop users. Serial ATA, an innovative new interface,
allows continued performance growth, enhanced data reliability,
and overall improved system dynamics above and beyond what
Parallel can efficiently continue to provide. A true "Native"
Serial ATA solution offers customers the "Real McCoy"
in Serial ATA technology. By implementing Serial ATA technology,
not only on the physical layer of the drive, but also in the
ATA controller link and transport layers, Seagate drives can
communicate from the drive to the host directly up to the
full 150MB/sec speed on the bus. In addition, the native solution
incorporates command queueing, which can be a big performance
boost in operating systems that can take advantage of that
type of function. Some drive manufacturers may not immediately
offer these "native" Serial ATA features on their
1st generation Serial ATA drives due to the difficulty of
this integration. Native Serial ATA = 150MB/sec bus speed,
command queueing support, super-set feature ready (first party
DMA) -A True Serial ATA Controller, Not Just A Translator.
