Xbit Labs just recieved some information from Hitachi that they are gonna release their Serial ATA II HDD's this year.

Serial ATA II is an improvement of the original Serial ATA technology that adds higher interface bandwidth along with capabilities like native command queuing, support for Serial ATA port multiplier and port selector technology. In addition the new Serial ATA II HDDs will be able to be plugged and unplugged while system’s operation, which is important for mission-critical servers.

Its really fun to hear that there is some quick progress within the HDD world. For more information visist Xbit Labs
