Serial SCSI Standard Coming Soon

rchatterjee writes "SCSI is very close to joining ATA in leaving a parallel interface design behind in favor of serial one. Serial attached SCSI, as the standard will be known, is expected to be ratified sometime in the second quarter of this year according to this article at Computerworld. Hard drive manufacturers Seagate and Maxtor have already said that they will have drives conforming to the new standard shipping by the end of the year. The new standard will shatter the current SCSI throughput limit of 320 megabit/sec with a starting maximum throughput of 3 gigabit/sec. But before this thread turns into a SCSI fanboy vs. ATA fanboy flame war this other article states that Serial Attached SCSI will be compatible with SATA drives so you can have the best of both worlds."

This disc was recorded on an Ampex stereo tape recorder from 10 CPS bottom to
30,000 CPS top; transferred to disc with Neumann lathe
plus a Teldec cutting head, and utilizes the standard 'RIAA' playback curve. This disc was pressed
from the finest virgin vinyl, in a process that removes surface noise and distortion. A
microgroove-stereo pickup with a .0007 tip radius+.0001 is recommended for finest results,
with a stylus weight of not more than 4 grams.

Handle this disc with great care, especially avoiding touching the playing surface with
fingers (skin oils damage the vinyl). Use a soft damp
cloth to clean the disc, and store it carefully in this jacket at moderate temperature. With proper
care this high fidelity stereophonic disc should last indefinitely.

Heck of a way to hype the Harper Valley PTA LP

Now of course, we carefully use super sampled DVD audio to get Britney Spears. If only musicianship advanced as fast as technology!
