Seagate hard drives will accelerate twice.

Seagate Corporation, together with AMD demonstrated the interface of hard drives Serial ATA Revision 3.0 (SATA3), which allows you to transfer data at speeds of up to 6 gigabytes, or 600 megabytes per second. This writes Cnet news.
Interface SATA3 is in an advanced stage of development. While it does not support any one device. It was expected that the first hard drives with support for SATA3 appear before the end of 2009.
SATA3 energoeffektiven will be more than his predecessors. In addition, new versions of some of the procedures are optimized, thus expected to increase overall system performance with devices that support SATA3.
The maximum data transfer speed of earlier versions, SATA and SATA2, were 150 and 300 megabytes per second respectively. It should be noted that the maximum transmission speed in practice is usually not achieved. Thus, for the hard drive with SATA2 rather typical data transfer rate of less than 200 megabytes per second.
