It is scalable and allows for enhancements tothe computing platform. These include easier integration, faster performance,and more efficient design. SATA provides a transfer rate of 150 MB/s or 300MB/s against of a 133 MB/s maximum using the previous technology. The parallel ATA specification hasdefined the standard storage interface for PCs since the protocol wasintroduced in the 1980s. Parallel ATA led for three main reasons, low cost,broad operating system support, and steady evolution. Parallel ATA evolved tosupport higher speed and performance while maintaining backward compatibilitywith older ATA devices. However, for a variety of reasons, includingperformance headroom, cabling issues, and voltage tolerance requirements, a newstorage interface was required. Therefore, the Serial ATA interface wasdefined. It was officially formed in July 2004 by the Serial ATA InternationalOrganization (SATA-IO). The Serial ATA International Organization(SATA-IO) is the group responsible for developing, managing, and drivingadoption of the Serial ATA specifications. SATA-IO also providesthe industry with guidance and support for 15 year old technology with a highspeed serial bus supporting up to 10 years of future expansion. Known as Serial ATA, the new serialinterface is designed to overcome the limitations of parallel ATA in additionto providing further enhancements to the storage subsystem in today'splatforms. Users of the Serial ATA interface benefit from greater speed,simpler upgradeable storage devices, easier configuration, easier systembuild-up, simplified cabling, elimination of jumpers, improved overall, systemairflow and enhanced reliability. Adoption of the Serial ATA specification provides low-coststorage for the industry, improved speed and bandwidth, and serves as anevolutionary replacement for the Parallel ATA interface. Implementation ofSerial ATA allows for easy integration due to improved cabling, greaterflexibility in regard to system configuration and hot plugability. With theseenhancements, system builders can create new solutions with fewer limitationsand will experience greater interoperability with other interfaces.
