SATA Storage Technology: Serial ATA (Paperback)

Book Description

The SATA (Serial ATA) interface is intended to expand and eventually replace the parallel ATA interface that has been the standard connection for hard drives and CD-ROM/DVD drives in Personal Computers for nearly twenty years. SATA, a high-speed serial version of ATA, is designed to maintain compatibility with software written for the standard ATA implementation, thus easing the transition to SATA. New advances in SATA provide new capabilities such as Native Command Queuing that improve overall drive performance and greater reliability. In addition, the latest version of SATA (called SATA II) adds new features such as higher transfer rates, Port Selectors, Port Multipliers, and enclosure services, making it easier to implement low cost, high capacity, storage subsystems for server implementations. This book provides essential information for Systems Engineers, System Validation Engineers, Hardware Designers, and Software Developers. o Serial ATA Storage Technology provides ATA background information necessary to understand the Serial ATA implementation. This book provides detailed information regarding the serial protocol, commands, and electrical interface. A tutorial approach is taken to facilitate thorough understanding, using numerous illustrations, tables and examples. The text is also designed to provide easy to access valuable reference information

書籍描述：

SATA（Serial ATA）介面旨在擴展並最終取代在個人電腦中連接硬碟和CD-ROM/DVD驅動器的標準並行ATA介面，該介面已經成為標準連接方式近二十年。SATA是ATA的高速串行版本，旨在保持與為標準ATA實現而編寫的軟件的兼容性，從而簡化轉換到SATA的過程。SATA的新進展提供了新的功能，例如Native Command Queuing，可以提高整體驅動器性能和可靠性。此外，最新版本的SATA（稱為SATA II）增加了新功能，例如更高的傳輸速率、端口選擇器、端口倍增器和外殼服務，使得實現低成本、高容量的存儲子系統更加容易。本書為系統工程師、系統驗證工程師、硬件設計師和軟件開發人員提供了必要的信息。《Serial ATA存儲技術》提供了理解Serial ATA實現所需的ATA背景信息。本書詳細介紹了串行協議、命令和電氣接口的信息。採用教程式的方法，通過大量的插圖、表格和示例來促進全面理解。本書還設計為提供易於訪問的有價值的參考信息。
