SATA 3.0 Release Paves the Way To 6Gb/sec Devices
An anonymous reader writes "The Serial ATA International Organization (SATA-IO) has just released the new Serial ATA Revision 3.0 specification. With the new 3.0 specification, the path has been paved to enable future devices to transfer up to 6Gb/sec as well as provide enhancements to support multimedia applications. Like other SATA specifications, the 3.0 specification is backward compatible with earlier SATA products and devices. This makes it easy for motherboard manufactures to go ahead and upgrade to the new specification without having to worry about its customers' legacy SATA devices. This should make adoption of the new specification fast, like previous adoptions of SATA 2.0 (or 3Gb/sec) technology."
SSDs are pulling a whole lot more than that ... at least when they are new ;)
Let me know when we hit 1.21 GW -- then I'll be excited!

What about us using MFM drives with removable platters?

1.21 Joule Watts?
WTF is 1.21 m^4*kg^2/s^5 good for?
Agreed, that's the dumbest physical connector I've seen in the longest time. I'd like to take those broken bits and shove them up the fingernails of the engineer that designed it.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
Time travel?

Obviously, you have never used an HDMI connector.
I raise you SCART. (Thankfully now disappearing.)
Maybe you should stop using a hammer when plugging in a new hard drive?
