Experiencing Data De-Duplication: Improving Efficiency and Reducing Capacity Requirements - White Paper
sponsored by Quantum Corporation
WHITE PAPER: For years, we were mired in a deep data protection rut. We backed up the only way we knew how: nightly to tape. As for recovering data, we crossed our fingers and prayed we'd never actually be asked to do a restore.

SERIAL ATA DEFINITION (continued): … Serial ATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment or SATA) is a new standard for connecting hard drives into computer systems. As its name implies, SATA is based on serial signaling technology, unlike current IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) hard drives that use parallel signaling.SATA has several practical advantages over the parallel signaling (also called Parallel ATA or PATA) that has been used in hard drives since the 1980s. SATA cables are more flexible, thinner, and less massive than the ribbon cables required for conventional PATA hard drives. SATA cables can be considerably longer than PATA ribbon cables, allowing the designer more latitude in the physical layout of a system. Because there are fewer conductors (only 7 in SATA as compared with 40 in PATA), crosstalk and electromagnetic interference (EMI) are less likely to be troublesome. The signal voltage is much lower as well (250 mV for SATA as compared with 5 V for PATA).
