SATA 2 Drives hit the market

[pradeep_chauhan]

Hi Guys
Now we all can enjoy the benifits of throughputs that were available only to the enterprise users. Hitachi has come out with SATA 2 drives and all the owners of nvidia nforce 4 chipset users can install these drives which give performance equal to scsi ultra 320 drives at a fraction of the cost.

Well i know the price of Hitach SATA 80 GB drive, its around Rs. 3500.00, but i never purchased it so i can't say about the performance part of it. But the vendor showed me the benchmark for Hitach and Seagate and Hitach had a higher read/write speed.

Price is EX -BANGALORE

I think we should wait. Hard to believe sata2 equal to scsi drives and at a very cheap price??!!

I think should wait till more companies start producing these drives. Quite happy with my sata drive at the moment.
