The Serial ATA bus [SATA] is the serial version of the IDE [ATA] spec. SATA uses a 4 conductor cable with two differential pairs [Tx/Rx], plus an additional three grounds pins and a separate power connector. Data runs at 150MBps [1.5GHz] using 8B/10B encoding and 250mV signal swings, with a maximum bus length of 1 meter. Later SATA enhancements move the data transfer speed to; 300MBps [3.0Gbps], and then 600MBps [6.0Gbps]. The current speed for SATA is 600Mbps [6Gbps] for version 3.0 of the standard which was released at the end of 2009. Shielded external SATA [eSATA] data cable runs out to a maximum of between 3 feet and 6 feet. eSATA cables are used external to the chassis or case. Just released xSATA which is an external interface out to 8 meters.
Thank you very much, BigDog. You give me good recommend. Anyway, I want to find some companies in China, so I can buy and get more support from the company easily. Maybe even it is producting or designing ,or pomoting, that all are great for me. As you know, that is I want to choose. Tranning, support, warranty are important for me. Thanks again.
I get some information from companies and it seems that Embest will promot the new products that on of the them is SBC8010 based on TI AM1808, you can wait for it. Maybe it will appear at the bottom of September. Besides, I am waiting now.
Ok, Embest has released some new products and what I want to knw about the SATA and now SBC8018 supports SATA. Can you give me some idea about it? Or some suggestion to buy?
You seems like to me. But I can't give you more suggestion, maybe you can like me to ask the **broken link removed**.
If you want SATA bus like me, it is more reliable and better, I think. Hope can help you.
