Who is making Serial ATA products?
If you have seen any of the pictures from Computex this year, most motherboard manufacturers have already begun integrating Serial ATA controllers into their hardware. Most of the latest motherboards just coming out will feature Serial ATA capabilities, and I’m sure it won’t be long until it’s a standard feature across most motherboards. Standards like USB have taken a while to fully take off when it was first introduced, but you’d be hard pressed to find any new PC or motherboard without at least 2 USB ports. The availability of USB devices now has skyrocketed, and the latest change to USB 2.0 has gained support much quicker. Like USB, Serial ATA drives will also be hot swappable, which should allow for greater flexability.
