Seagate, the world's leading hard drive maker, and Best Buy, one of the nation's leading entertainment technology retailers, have become the first to offer Serial ATA hard drives to retail consumers. Seagate hard drive kits featuring the new Serial ATA storage interface are now on Best Buy shelves. Seagate's native Serial ATA architecture moves data up to 50 percent faster than the previous standard with intelligent data handling and point-to-point connections. Its cabling and connector design makes upgrades and maintenance easy, and it improves data integrity and PC system reliability.

Seagate's unique native Serial ATA design improves hard drive performance because it handles data more intelligently than parallel ATA hard drives, and offers external transfer rates up to 150 Mbytes per second in its first generation - 50 percent faster than the Ultra ATA/100 bus most commonly used today in desktop PCs. It uses a point-to-point connection that eliminates device bus sharing, making multi-drive systems like home servers work faster, because the full bandwidth of each bus is dedicated to a single hard drive.
