6Gb Sata from Seagate and AMD

Press Release
"Seagate and AMD are the first to demonstrate a complete implementation of 6 Gb SATA today in New Orleans. 3 Gb/sec SATA is standard today. 6 Gb/sec interfaces will ship on products in late 2009, none too soon for industry needs"

Interesting...I didn't know that Seagate and AMD were working together.

edit: Per request...🙂

AMD seems to have a lot of stuff up their sleeves these days. Let's just hope they can hang on during the recession and find profitability soon.
 
Title needs to be changed to Gb instead of GB. b = bit, B = Byte.

Also, this is a bit off topic for CPUs and Overclocking, as it deals with storage interface and would fit better in Memory and Storage.

Anyways, let's just hope we actually seeing some drives that actually require more than 3Gb Sata II.

SATA 6Gbps will be faster and hopefully they will implement power over eSATA in the next generation. Then it will be faster and just as capable as USB3.0. Of course there is still the problem of compatibility because most systems still don't have eSATA ports. I have all but abandoned Firewire in favor of eSATA.

USB 3.0 will offer 5Gbps, and most devices (at least for a while) will not be able to get anywhere near that, let alone 6Gbps SATA. I really think USB 3.0 will kill eSATA's momentum, there just won't be much need for it.
 
i hope to get sata 6gb and usb 3 on the next board upgrade. so far my ip35e does the trick nicely. i think usb3 is bigger because you can attach more external devices that require higher speed esp HD enclosures or video camera file xfer.

Right, Do we really need another PC connection format war? ESATA has it's advantages, but I think it should be more geared towards higher end applications. USB 3.0 is going to kill eSATA in the lwoer end segment, because, lets face it. USB 2.0 is the current king of periphials and external drives. With USB 3.0 being able to accept all previous USB devices, that will just solidify it against eSATA.

Yeah, I don't know why they don't just unify the two standards so that all peripherals are USB3; it would really simplify things.
 
I'm all for improving standards, but is there any drive even remotely close to saturating the 3Gb interface? Or is this more for arrays the the like?

I've yet to see a SATA drive saturate Sata 1.5 spec, they burst but can't maintain it.

SAS already has a 6Gb std out there.

The newer SSDs coming out will saturate SATA quite easily.
