Brief specifications:
SATA interface
Thoughts?
SATA is so "yesterday". It represents "in the box" thinking. Sun
engineering should still be capable of thinking "outside the box".
Considerable optimizations/improvements are possible by erradicating
legacy interfaces and employing the same sort of "outside the box"
thinking that produced zfs. It is time to short-circuit that legacy
storage stack.
SATA is so last century :-) But is widely successful because of its
simplicity and inexpensive implementations. I'm not convinced you
could introduce a new block device transport today and get any
traction. [Richard waits for the IB guys to chime in...]
