This is another white elephant...
Only ultra fast HDD can take advantage of this interface, which sadly are usually too expensive for home usage. Servers maybe can benefit, but definately not home users. Heck, it might take even 20 more years before regulare desktop users will be able to afford HDD that will not bottleneck SATA II, let alone SATA III

hmm.. if HDD have bigger cache eg... 512MB at least.. then this SATA3 should complement it nicely

hey..lets ask the HDD makers to include sodimm sockets on the HDD for user to upgrade its memory cache.. lol

That's not really useful, might as well add more system memory.

I guess the 6Gbps is only useful for short burst of data transfer (read/write), i.e. cannot sustain at that speed for >1 sec.

And I think it is useful to apply in servers/SAN, e.g. 15k SAS with RAIDs config.

I am agree with u the 6Gb/s was useful for huge data transfer as backup =<500GB data, if using IDE platform may take u an age.
Raid solution ? Hohoho, I am noob with RAID.

Oh, Bro ikanayam, look like u gonna break the 10k posts records soon, congratz!
