Not bad but not impressive ... second generation only comes in 2004.

Extremly quiet though.

Interesting article, first i've seen of an SATA drive.

Looks like my next drives are going to be cuda V's: extremely quiet (which is much more important to me than 0.5% slower transfer speed), fast & hot plugable.

Only sad you can't connect a regular molex connector, using a large power converter cable partially illiminates the beneficial effect from not having to use a huge ATA100 flatcable. :/

so this is about the only benefit in HDD-technology we'll see throughout 2003?
