Overclockaholics Forums - Sata 3.0 Now Official!

Some motherboards coming out at computex will support SATA 3.0 which will rock for those using SSDs in RAID!

With everything being prepared for next weeks' Computex Taipei tradeshow, SATA-IO published the final SATA Rev 3.0 spec. Now, time for some SATA 3.0 motherboards…Computex Taipei 2009 will open its doors on Tuesday - June 2nd, 2009 - and there will be a plethora of motherboards and storage components claiming to be SATA-III or SATA 6Gbps compliant.

In order for that to happen, the Serial ATA International Organization e.g. SATA-IO had to put amen on the final version of SATA Revision 3.0. Just like every revision so far, SATA 3.0 is backwards compatible with SATA 2.0 and 1.0 standards from one side, and SAS 1.0 and 2.0 from another. One must admit, the idea to put Serial ATA and Serial Attached SCSI on the same cable was a work of genius. Truth to be told, this completes the full circle, since originally ATA was brought forward to create a cheaper way to connect storage from then only-existing SCSI.
