SATA=Serial ATA (PATA is parallel). The new version of SATA has been ratified at 6 gigabits/second (gbs)as well; no reason to wait for USB3. The new SAS (serial SCSI) is also 6 gbs. How is USB faster?
Thank you, Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- IDE==ATA==PATA - different from SATA. But if you can hold out, USB3 should arrive by the end of the year and will be faster than both. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
