Well done, everyone
Leslie Sobon, VP of product marketing at AMD, said: "The new SATA 6Gb/second technology not only incorporates the best features of previous SATA generations but also includes new enhancements.
"This innovation enables AMD to continue to evolve its technology platforms and to develop low-cost designs that our technology partners can use to improve their own PC and laptop products."
It should be stressed, amid all this corporate self-congratulation, that SATA 6Gb/second (as they seem to be calling it, rather than SATA III or SATA 3.0 or Return of the SATA or whatever) was developed by the Serial ATA International Organization (SATA-IO) rather than any specific vendor. To be fair to Seagate and AMD, they do mention that in the press release.
