SATA disks get Intel seal of approval
Maxtor Corp., Milpitas, Calif., says its Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives have completed compatibility testing with Intel's 875P chipset for the Pentium 4 processor. Tests were done in both Intel and Maxtor labs. OEMs, solution providers and system builders now have a variety of pre-tested SATA combinations for building PCs, RAID arrays and near-line storage applications, according to Maxtor. Included in many 875P platforms is Intel RAID technology that supports high-performance RAID arrays for SATA hard disk drives. Maxtor SATA drives deliver transfer rates of up to 1.5Gbps and provide cyclical redundancy checking (CRC).
Maxtor began shipping SATA hard drives to OEMs and selected partners in December 2002.
