What are the benefits of serial ATA?
Serial ATA provides a storage interface that can reliably provide the data rates expected over the next ten years. It is a point-to-point interface providing CRC-protected, high-performance transfer rates of 1.5Gb/s in its first version. No software changes are required, and it is 100 percent compatible with current and future operating system’s ATA drivers. With smaller connectors and thinner cables, serial ATA provides additional benefits to motherboard designers and system integrators for multi-drive enclosures and RAID solutions.
