SATA II Hard Drives (Serial ATA II) from Hitachi

Hitachi was the first hard drive manufacturer to deliver all of the major design enhancements identified in the SATA II specification, including a 3Gb/s (300MB/sec) data transfer rate!

The new transfer rate represents a doubling of the previous SATA 1.0 rate and rivals that of enterprise-class SCSI drives.  The performance breakthrough is of great benefit for users that require fast data access for bandwidth-intensive applications, such as digital video editing and PC gaming.

Why Serial ATA II 3Gb/s (SATA 3Gb/s)?
The newly approved SATA-II specification has standardized three important features:

  • 3Gb/s (300 MB/s) interface data rate
  • NCQ (native command queuing)
  • Staggered (delayed) spin-up

The Hitachi SATA II hard drives provide all of these enhancements to enable faster data access and better power management to the system. The drives are also backward compatible for those wishing to upgrade their storage of SATA 1.0 systems.

The Deskstar SATA II drives all feature a single-chip, native SATA chipset and Native Command Queuing (NCQ), which enables faster data transfer rates for performance-based applications. (NCQ is a method of controlling commands sent from the host processor to the drive to enable faster application activities for the user.)

Hitachi's standardized features in desktop solutions enable fast transfer rates, low power utilization and quiet acoustics. These features combine to make the Deskstar SATA II hard drives ideal not only for standard PC systems but also for entry-servers.
