SATA I.O Announces SATA-Express.

SATA I.O, industry consortium with rights and managing specification SATA as standard and, although of course, its promotion, today unveiled the development of the SATA-Express, a new standard combining the software part of the SATA and PCI-Express interface. This technology seems to be a way to increase the rate of transfers up to 8 GB/s or even 16, which will result in the creation of new devices and new connectors on the card-mother.

The DSS and other hybrid disks (such as the MOMENTUS SEAGATE SSD 4 GB and 500 GB of mechanical storage) flirt already with the limits of existing storage interfaces. SATA-Express will therefore provide a solution at low prices to use to maximize the potential of such products. CSC not requiring high transfer rates will still benefit from the pre-existing SATA interface.

SATA-Express is just one of the specifications of SATA I.O among others, aimed to provide a storage solution little expensive high-performance, optimized for specific market segments. Since its launch in 1999, the SATA standard absorbed 99% of the PC market, ranging from the standard mechanical disc in the optical drive from the DSS with new Micro-SATA and SATA µSSD, designed to provide small form factor drives and SATA USM, easily interchangeable, scalable storage solution.
