Was there ever going to be new generations of SATA after SATA III?

Or is there just no point or incentive to develop the technology further since NMVE M2 became a thing.

I can't help but think we could have had

Sata 4 (1,200 MB/S)
Sata 5 (2,400 MB/S)
Sata 6 (4,800 MB/S)
Sata 7 (9,600 MB/S)

SATA was designed for HDDs, and they cap out at around 300 MB/s anyway, so there was never much incentive to further develop the standard.
It was never an ideal standard for SSDs, regardless of speed.
SATA is a serial version of IDE, and that was designed with the specific data structure of HDDs in mind, SSDs are obviously completely different.

When GBATemp was new forum, IDE and Windows XP was around. I remember about need floppy disk for SATA driver when install Windows XP.

I got new PC in 2002 that is last one with IDE.

Scuzzy masterrace.

No, SATA is old, JDbye summed it up perfectly.

I think no. Max out on SATA 3.

Hard drive companies are working on huge capacity of hard drives go up to 100 TB and over next few years.

I stay away from SMR and HAMR are not recommend due to slow performance cause problems. I always stick with CMR / PMR types for many years. CMR/PMR can go up to something like 24 TB max out.

After 24 TB and above start with SMR/HAMR types. I will never touch them with SMR/HAMR technology, just stay away from them.

I had 90 TB and will still counting around 240/250 TB then I will stop buy HDD once hit 240/250 TB should be enough. Great to buy HDD when it's on sale! Buy more HDD over SSD. SSD prices are rise and climb up right now. I hope SSD should match HDD cheap prices with same capacity in near future. SSD companies must follow up with HDD companies.


I love this hard drive gif! Epic!
