Serial ATA, Here and Now

Posted by timothy on from the smaller-faster-more dept.

Xev writes "We have heard a lot about this new technology; over at HEXUS.net they have a review of a retail drive. The first on the internet, it is interesting to see the performance of the unit as well as the hotswap feature, and other new functions. Is this a solution to cheaper hot swap?"

    until SCSI prices fall and I can cache in!!!!

    Does this new type of drive operate on an IDE-like setup of 4 drives or a SCSI-like setup of several more? Can I use these in addition to my existing IDE drives? Have Linux drivers been written? Are they in 2.4 or 2.5 or a patch?

    If any Serial ATA makers want me to review them, send a demo copy to:

    All products that I've previously reviewed have recieved 5 stars and I'm sure yours will to :-)

    Tt was intended. Spoken puns are sinning against the English language, but written ones are fine so long as they look like typos.

    Thanks. The "we are having major server problems right now, we are looking into it" message from the review site was cute but not very helpful.

    If I had been given mod points for this story, this comment wouldn't be off topic. Why? Because it wouln't exist.

    So, yeah, mod me down, baby. Do it hard. Spank me, spank me. I've been a naughty boy. Mmmm, yeah. Harder. Harder! That's it! Yeah!

    But it only counts as $20 because it isn't printed on real money. RIAA math swings both ways!
