It's not achievable with multiple drives because the 300Mb/s is per drive not per controllerjoeyjojo said:Maximum bandwidth raised to 300 MB/s. Not achievable without multiple drives though ie RAID.
Depends on how you want to interpret that . Hypothetically, that bandwidth is achievable, and can be used to demonstrate how far we are away from topping the interface of a drive...rpstewart said:It's not achievable with multiple drives because the 300Mb/s is per drive not per controller

When using a port multiplier on a SATA 300 port and you 'only' get 300MB/sec, then I would see that as a port limitation not a controller one.smids said:Depends on how you want to interpret that .

Also, when using a port multiplier, you will be limited to this speed... in which case, this is a controller interface limitation.
Sorry, I'll be quiet now...
Now we really are getting into semantics. The port is indeed limited, but the port is attached to the controller and controlled by the controller's logic processor chip; for this reason it is a controller limitation.basmic said:When using a port multiplier on a SATA 300 port and you 'only' get 300MB/sec, then I would see that as a port limitation not a controller one.
In case it helpsdigit-life said:Serial ATA 3.0 development is underway - transfer rates will be doubled to 6 Gbps. Completion of SATA 3.0 specifications is expected in the second half of 2007. However, the practical upgrade from 3 Gbps to 6 Gbps will not be as simple as it was with the 1.5-3 Gbps. So even though real transfer rates will not reach 6 Gbps soon, this upgrade must be prepared beforehand. Besides, there exist such devices as port-multipliers and port-aggregators, where 6 Gbps rates will be used earlier..
