Since arriving on our motherboards, i SATA level It has become a de facto thing for our stores. Whether these are hard drives, SSDs or hard drives, they all use the same level. However, SATA's quality has improved over the years. It's time to look back and see how you are we came up normal And where it might be straightforward.
It was the year 2000 when the new standard was announced data bus. This is a new bus, called A combination of seriat, arrived with the goal of fixing the shortcomings discovered, over the years, with the standard time bus: Parallel AT Attachment (PATA). And he set them right. From using a bus with great bandwidth. Until new technologies are introduced that allow for strong connection and thermal insulation. This new level makes the old PATA disappear in a few years.
Standard SATA types
SATA 1.0
It is also called Seria ATA 150, this was the first version of this level. It was introduced in 2003. It initially did not support the NCQ (Native Command Queiding) feature. Something resolved soon.
Level of transfer The maximum theoretical files for this rate, were 150 MB / s.
SATA 2.0
This new update will be launched one year later. It is also called Seria ATA 300, because it doubles the maximum file transfer rate allowed by the previous name. This increase in available bandwidth of storage units is first used when they first arrive on the market. the first SSD
SATA 3.0
This is a review of the dates from 2008. It is also known as Serial ATA 600. Since, again, it was possible to double the available bandwidth of storage devices. And, again, only devices are able to use this bandwidth They are SSDs.
SATA Express
This description joins the SATA bus on the mother board via its PCIe bus. At this rate you can simply use the AHCI Agreements either NVMe file transfer. It was also a way to increase SATA data transfer.
What does the future hold for this system?
Although we have become de facto standard for storage units. Not much work has been done in terms of probability SATA 4.0, which will raise the transmission rate to 1200 MB / s. According to those responsible for improving the standards, the changes that need to be made to the physical condition of the units and connectors are enormous.
Also, we must remember that, at present, the NVMe protocol It already has access to those transmission levels (and beyond). Therefore, those responsible for the project have decided to continue to maintain the standard in the latest version of SATA 3. Yes, they will continue to make minor updates, to ensure compatibility between end devices. But SATA 4.0 will not be upgraded in the future.
