Ultrafast connectors for next-generation storage
Honda is to support the next generation communications architecture for high performance storage - Serial ATA - with a new family of 1.5Gbit/s connectors
The company expects to release 3Gbit/s and 6Gbit/s versions by 2004 and 2007 respectively, in line with the projected rollout of the standard. Honda's new high performance Serial ATA connectors are specifically designed to support the bandwidths which will be required in RAID arrays and multimedia PCs for transferring data between high capacity HDDs and to CD-ROM/DVD drives with read/write capabilities.
