6 Gbit drives coming

6 Gbit drives comingAll this high speed interface is limited...by the transfer rate internally in the drive. This improves burst rates only and data that can be cached in the drives buffers. It does nothing for extended read/write function that are larger than the drives buffers.RE: 6 Gbit drives...
