(Press Release) Maxtor Corporation announced it is working with Adaptec to deliver full interoperability between Maxtor's Atlas 10K III SCSI hard disk drives and Adaptec's Ultra320 SCSI and RAID controllers for state-of-the-art storage applications. Ultra320 is at the leading edge of SCSI interface technology for enterprise computer users, delivering up to double the data transfer rates of the Ultra160 interface and offering backwards compatibility with all previous generations of the SCSI interface. Ultra320 is optimal for data transfer in mainline storage; NAS, SAN and RAID environments; and streaming video and audio applications.

Weekly Memory Prices: It's been a slower week than normal for memory prices, with most holding steady and a few even climbing up. But if you were about to buy memory, you need not worry too much. Increases were small and prices, overall, are still remarkably low.

Rambus Inc., unveiled its next generation memory signaling technology during Rambus Developer Forum (RDF) 2001. Part of Rambus' latest memory technology development effort, code-named "Yellowstone", the new signaling technology is capable of data transfer rates of 3.2 Gigahertz (GHz) with a roadmap to 6.4GHz.
Surpassing Rambus' already industry-leading memory signaling technologies, Yellowstone Octal Data Rate (ODR) operation allows for the transfer of eight bits per clock cycle, leveraging differential pair signaling to achieve transfer rates of 3.2GHz. In addition, Yellowstone technology incorporates ultra low voltage Differential Rambus Signaling Levels (DRSL) of 1.2V with a 200mV swing, on-chip termination, and bi-directional signaling.
"The first Yellowstone test chip is a fully functional DRAM PLL supporting greater than 3.2GHz data rates,'' said Laura Fleming, vice president of Rambus Inc. "Rambus innovations including ODR and DRSL will deliver four times the performance compared to today's RDRAM.''
