→Advantages: added SATA 3.0, fixed speeds
==Advantages==
==Advantages==
Serial ATA/150 was released in late 2002. This offers a net transfer speed of 150 MB/s, as the name suggests. Later, Serial ATA/300 was released, which doubled the transfer speed. As with the previous, the speed is in the title—it has a net transfer speed of 300MB/s. Another small benefit is that Serial ATA cables are narrower that the older [[Parallel ATA]] ribbon cables. This means that SATA cables do not restrict air flow as much as its predecessor.<ref name="tomshardware.com">http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/silicon-image-brings-virtualization-esata,1610-2.html</ref>
Serial ATA/150 (SATA 1.0) was released in late 2002. This offers a net transfer speed of 1.5 Gbit/s, as the name suggests. Later, Serial ATA/300 (SATA 2.0) was released, which doubled the transfer speed. As with the previous, the speed is in the title—it has a net transfer speed of 3 Gbit/s. After this came SATA/600 (SATA 3.0), which again doubled the speed, allowing for a communication rate of 6 Bbit/s. Another small benefit is that Serial ATA cables are narrower that the older [[Parallel ATA]] ribbon cables. This means that SATA cables do not restrict air flow as much as its predecessor.<ref name="tomshardware.com">http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/silicon-image-brings-virtualization-esata,1610-2.html</ref>
The [[Serial ATA International Organization]] (SATA-IO) tracks improvements and reports on them, while working to maintain an industry standard of SATA technology which will be versatile and reliable. With each new SATA version that is released, SATA-IO releases a review explaining differences, such as [http://serialata.org/sites/default/files/images/SATA%20Spec%203%203%20Press%20Release_FINAL.pdf this review on SATA 3.3].
