The SATA-IO announced this week that it will be demonstrating implementations of its new SATA Revision 3.0 specification at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF). The 3.0 spec boosts transfer rates to 6 Gbits/second and offers new features such as data streaming and better power management. Best of all, the SATA-IO promises that the 3.0 spec will be backwards compatible with earlier SATA implementations.

A new specification for the popular Serial ATA storage interface will double the maximum transfer speed from three to six gigabits per second (Gb/s). This will enable large amounts of data to be moved at even faster rates, a key advantage as end-users amass ever-increasing amounts of high-resolution photos, videos, music and other multimedia files.
