High Speed Driver Controller

Add comments

I am really fed up with my internal drive’s speed to transfer files. At least now, there is good news, not only for me, but for the PC users who are crazy about rapid transfers. Barefoot solid state drive controller, a product of Indilinx, has been reported to show an excellent speed of 230MB per second. In only a few days, it is preparing for a third generation of the controller for SATA 3 interface. While even the fastest conventional hard disk drives can barely saturate the original SATA 1.5 Gbit/s bandwidth, Solid State Disk drives have already saturated the SATA 3 Gbit/s limit at 250 MB/s net read speed. Ten channels of fast flash can reach well over 500 MB/s with new ONFI drives, so a move from SATA 3 Gbit/s to SATA 6 Gbit/s would benefit the flash read speeds. As for the standard hard disks, the reads from their built-in DRAM cache will end up faster across the new interface. Seagate was the first company to offer SATA 6 Gbit/s hard drives.

The proposed version is supposed to provide a whooping speed of 600MB per second.
