Seagate Stepping Out of IDE Market
 |
Seagate is often in the news for new drives they are putting out, but now they are in the news for drives they will no longer be putting out. IDE connectors have served us well, but I for one, am pleased to see it finally starting to go the way of the dodo. What about those who need upgrades for ancient machines, though? They won’t be picking up Seagate drives, I guess. Regardless, S-ATA is the current and future. How long will it take before we start to see P-ATA connectors missing from our motherboards?
According to a report published at Australian-based ITNews last January, SATA now accounts for 66.7 percent of desktop hard drive sales, 44 percent of laptop sales, and an unspecified (but increasing) amount of enterprise storage connectivity.
