Storage Industry Overview
4. ATA/SATA RAID is on flying—steps into medium level market
ATA hard disc is usually used in desktop PC in the past, as compared to SCSI and
FC, the inherent spec limitation of ATA such as: stability, transmission distance,
efficiency, no. of hard disc it can be connected to, etc., make it difficult to replace the
need of SCSI and FC in the enterprise customer. However, the low cost advantage
of ATA satisfies the low price market needs, the global ATA hard disc sales is about
90%, however, in the hard disc market used by enterprise, ATA hard disc only
occupies a market share of 10%, SCSI hard disc is the current major storage media
used by most enterprise customer. The market analysts think that SATA hard disc
will replace old ATA market within 5 years and eat away SCSI’s hard disc market in
enterprise storage, after 2006, SATA is expected to exceed SCSI market. No only so,
under the strong promotion from giant player such as Intel as well as the long term
plan of three generations (1.5/ 3/ 6Gb), SATA is going to impact SCSI’s role in the
high level storage market in the future, the market expects that SATA in the short
term will gradually replace the role played by SCSI in the medium level hard disc
market, and starts to be used in some storage systems of medium sized enterprise,
take a look for the long term, some large sized enterprises’ storage systems will
adopt low cost SATA hard discs as storage media to keep the lowest unit storage
cost (the unit is each MB).
