    critical network storage. With the introduction of SATA products in 2004, key solution providers like HP are now offering more scalable and affordable configuration since it was introduced in the 1980's as IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics). The success of parallel ATA in the desktop and notebook

    rate of today's 7,200-RPM hard disk drives (HDDs) because the interface has to accommodate only one drive at a time. Figure 2. It is becoming increasingly difficult to support the traditional 5V TTL signal requirement of parallel ATA beyond ATA 133. SATA technology has the potential to shrink form
