The evolution of mobile computing has HD video cameras in cellphones, entire libraries of  music contained on devices that slip into a jacket pocket, and centuries of literature stored on an e-reader that size of a book. With the explosion of mobile computing and ongoing improvement of laptop CPU power and graphics acceleration,  one issue still remains – storage.  You may have the latest and greatest laptop on the planet, but without the necessary storage capacity to carry around your 1000 hours of music, entire DVD video collection, and decades of digital pictures you may need to carry around additional media to store all your goodies.  Worse yet you may be forced to pick and choose what items to keep on the local drive and which files to leave at home – what if I need those files on the road? Seagate continues to answer the cries of road warriors and digital hoarders media enthusiasts.

  1. All new drives,whether SSD,SSH or HDD should be SATA III 6gb/s,with backward compatibility for SATA II ans SATA 1.

    The switch needs to be made,NOW!

    • Rotational media and most released SSD’s barely max out the bandwidth of SATA-IO spec SATA II, releasing all drives with SATA III as standard would increase costs so the switch is not totally necessary right now.

      If the device is capable of SATA III speeds and exceeds SATA II speeds then yes it should definitely be SATA III
