Serial ATA (SATA) disk technology has made a major jump recently in the form of “SATA-II” specification drives that run twice as fast as their predecessors—a hypothetical maximum transfer rate of 3 gigabits per second (Gbps). With disk capacities climbing steadily, system builders can now achieve the vaunted heights of terabyte storage (more or less) with just two drives. In this TechBuilder Recipe, I’ll take you through the steps of building a compact, self-contained system with a near-terabyte of speedy storage.
