The new Serial ATA interface offers data transfer speeds up to 50% faster than the current parallel ATA interface: - Transfer rates up to 150MB/sec. - High performance 7200rpm disk rotational speed
· Improved cabling: - Eliminates the current 18 inch cable length limitation. - Thinner cables improve cable routing and airflow through the system.
· Point-to-Point connections eliminate the need for Master/Slave settings on drives, simplifying installation.
· Superior end-to-end error checking over Parallel ATA helps increase data integrity
Includes Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) which helps to predict and warn of some impending drive failures.
· Ontrack Disk Manager* included. This software prepares the drive for use, migrates data from older, slower drives, and overcomes legacy hardware, BIOS, and operating system. * GB equals 1,000,000,000 bytes when referring to storage capacity. Accessible capacity is less.
• Reliable access to data - We help verify compatibility through testing which is among the most rigorous in the industry
