WD is leading the way with a full lineup of SATA 6 Gb/s drives.
Over the years the industry has increased bus bandwidth from PATA
through SATA 1.5 Gb/s and SATA 3 Gb/s to keep up with the demand for
higher transfer rates. The next evolution of bus bandwidth has now been
achieved with the introduction of SATA 6 Gb/s, (SATA 3.0). We've added a
SATA 6 Gb/s interface to our award-winning WD Caviar Blue, Green, and
Black desktop hard drives in capacities from 250 GB - 3 TB. This
transition to a SATA 6 Gb/s interface aligns with the introduction of
SATA 6 Gb/s-supporting chip sets and motherboards coming to the market.
Why should I buy a SATA 6 Gb/s hard drive from WD?
Buying a SATA 6 Gb/s drive now is a great way to make sure your hard
drive will be compatible with next generation motherboards and chipsets.
And
when you buy from WD, the world's leading hard drive supplier by
volume, you gain comfort in knowing that the drive has been extensively
tested for reliability and compatibility and will be supported by
world-class technical support. Will SATA 6 Gb/s drives work with older systems?
Yes, the SATA 6 Gb/s interface uses the same connector as SATA 3 Gb/s
and is compatible with Microsoft Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000 and Mac OS X. |
