Normally some babblebot would have jumped at the opportunity.


No idea where that came from.

Folkie, your post stated the following "fact" ("fact" in *your* opinion
- which is far removed from reality at the best of times.)

[quote from folkie] "3 Gb SATA is for external raid cabinets."

Does that answer your question? (Jibe)

Really, my boy, you need to ponder just a little longer on the relevant
subject.

Now, go and stand in the corner with your index finger on your lips. If
you have to pick your nose, use your toes.

You appear to be a little confused these days, Folkie...

Not necessarily.

I agree. It is really difficult to understand this stuff now if you
are not an engineer. The thing that amazes me is actually that the
press has not picked up on this and is educating the public about this
scam.

Not necessarily.

If all the data[1] "confirms" that SATA2 is better than SATA, who are
the "buying masses" going to believe?

Have a look at this website

Nothing there that says that 3Gb SATA is better,
though the second part of the table is rather hilarious.
With your cartoon inspired nym I can see the attraction there for you.

"Storage Arrays love SATA 3Gb/s interface speed

For host interfaces, the 3Gbits/sec speed is necessary to meet the in-
creasing performance requirements for bandwidth-intensive applications
such as disk to disk backup, video editing, medical imaging, research and
near-line data storage as the amount of data that companies need to store,
manage and keep readily available continues to increase. Serial ATA can
help meet rising data throughput needs via the introduction of SATA 3Gb/s,
enabling the transfer of more than the current 1.5 gigabits of data in
*aggregated arrays and other multi-drive configurations*.
From the host side, SATA 3Gbits/sec essentially provides a larger pipe
to move data faster. "

Here is fresh towel, Stinkie. So you can wipe the egg off your face now.

Wow Stinkie, you can copy/paste quotes within the existing post?
Now for how to manage that develish comprehension part, eh.
Still practicing I guess.
Does that answer your question? (Jibe)

No Stinkie, and even someone as stupid as you knows that.
Your utterly stupid question was answered by the second
part of my comments, but as usual you managed to snip that.
Really, my boy, you need to ponder just a little longer on the relevant subject.

Practicing in front of the mirror again, Stinkie?
Now, go and stand in the corner with your index finger on your lips.

Ah, yes, you have been practicing alright.

Not half as you are, Stinkie. Not half as you are.
Now who is the one with egg in his face?
It's the one looking at you in the mirror, Stinkie.

Oh, the quote?
It's from the same website that you referred to in your other post:
http://www.sata-io.org/3g.asp

I'll guess that you were so eager to try and make me look foolish that you
hadn't time to actually read up on it. Better luck next time, Stinkie.

The problem with the press is that they think as a matter of policy that it
is best to go into an interview knowing nothing about the topic so that
they will ask the questions that a member of "the public" would ask,
instead of going in knowing as much as possible so that they ask the
questions that _need_ to be asked.

I used to live with a reporter. Woman was a piece of work. She'd lie,
steal, forge signatures, do _anything_ but actually learn something about
the subject.

I can see how that would cause the problem. Interestingly in the
sciences many people believe that asking the right questions is
often more important and harder than answering them.

Urgh! Not the type of person I would entrust anything to, let alone
something as important as reporting on issues the public needs
to know about!

Thanks, Folkie - I had a nice chuckle at your comments.

Oh - by the way, I don't have to *try* to make you look foolish.

Have a good weekend.

No it doesnt. It does show that many of them are ignorant in the
sense that they dont realise the two standards are compatible.

Fraid not with drive interface standards.

It isnt a scam, they're just ensuring that the interface keeps
well ahead of what the drives can do and getting the latest
interface out there well before the drives need it when that
doesnt cost any more in the cost of the drive.

They dont. ALL they need to know is that the two standards are
compatible and that there is no need to upgrade drives to the
later standard if the drive is still working fine and is big enough etc.

You dont find operations like Seagate spruiking the new standard
in the sense that they are encouraging anyone to replace drives
that are fine with drives with the latest standard.
