ATTO has released five 6Gbps SAS host adapters varying mainly on port configurations. The company claims the new devices deliver the fastest SAS/SATA host-bus transfer rates on the market, with the high-end 16-port H60F and H6FO carrying two independent controllers that support a maximum of 512 devices, with 16 lanes of 600MBps connectivity for a throughput of 19.2GBps full duplex.
IOGEAR on Monday introduced new Serial ATA (SATA) and External SATA (eSATA) products, including PCI and PCI-Express card adapters, enclosures, and cables. The new storage upgrades and accessories offer a faster, cost-effective option for increasing their disk drive speeds, the company said. The new product line facilitates data transfers at speeds up to 3Gbps -- six times quicker than USB 2.0, while the SATA PCI and PCI-Express solutions also add RAID (redundant array of independent disks) capabilities to existing laptops and desktops. IOGEAR's new enclosure converts internal SATA hard disk drives into durable external USB 2.0 or eSATA drives that can take full advantage of the robust SATA feature set.
