"Congratulations to Seagate Company, which appeared the first one to enter this market and really succeeded with their SerialATA products. Seagate SATA drives proved faster than their predecessors and their production cost will hardly be much higher. Of course, these drives are also a kind of transitional product. The “serializer” could have prevented these drives from showing all the potential of the faster SATA bus. But despite this fact, we have clearly seen that the contemporary hard disk drives really do need a faster bus. Not to mention the next generation HDDs with native command queuing support and other features provided by SerialATA."
