Publisher's Note: Written for systems engineers, architects, and product managers involved in the planning process for a transition to Serial ATA, this book will contribute to a better understanding of this new interconnect technology. Answered are questions such as why make the change, what problems does serial ATA solve, what potential problems could Serial ATA create and how can they be avoided, and how to transition systems from Parallel ATA or SCSI to Serial ATA. Topics include PHY signaling and interface states, protocol encoding, programming model, flow control, performance, legacy compatibility, enclosure management, signal routing, hot=plug, presence detect, and cable/connector standards. Insights are also provided on the goals driving the Serial ATA standard development, the advantages Serial ATA provides for OEMs, IHVs, and end-users, and how to design and build real-world systems that use Serial ATA.
