* Improved protocol for enhanced data integrity
* Performance increase to up to 3 Gb/s maximum external (burst) data
transfer rate
* Thinner and smaller serial cables and connectors for easy routing and
improved system cooling
* Maximum cable length increased from 1.5 feet to 1 meter (3.28 feet)
for increased design and layout flexibility in a system
SMART III TECHNOLOGY:
* Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) HDD technology
is designed to allow hard drives to monitor their own health and to
raise flags if imminent failures are predicted
