SATA-IO is putting the finishing touches on the Serial ATA Specification Revision 3.3. The upcoming enhancements will enable higher capacity, reliability and flexibility for SATA-based products. New specification developments include:

  • Added flexibility in the drive spin-up control and activity indicators to provide hosts with more choices
  • New transmitter specification to increase reliability in power intensive environments
  • Remote power cycling of SATA drives to simplify maintenance procedures
  • Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) support to facilitate high capacity drives

The document is currently under member review, which wraps up Tuesday, December 22, 2015. To access the document, log on to the Documents Under Review area of the SATA-IO website.
