The nVidia 300
Not yet convinced that Serial ATA-150 is really worth the effort, consumers may soon be greeted by Serial ATA-300 if nVidia has its way. "As part of the Company’s commitment to driving innovative integrated technologies into its single-chip MCP architectures, the NVIDIA SATA 3Gb/s solution will be incorporated into future NVIDIA nForce media and communications processors (MCPs) by the end of the year. NVIDIA will also be working with Hitachi, Maxtor, Samsung, and Seagate to ensure interoperability with its SATA 3Gb/s products for desktop, server, and workstation environments." Blah, blah, blah... Time frame is "later in the year." Look for motherboard and hard drive prices to go up accordingly. (See! I knew those rats in the hard drive industry were eventually going to find a way to shove ATA drive prices up to the sky with SCSI drives!)
