Abstract
External SATA (eSATA) is a dedicated storage interface found in PCs, external
hard disk drives, and set-top boxes. 2009 will see slight growth in
eSATA-enabled devices, driven primarily by mobile PCs and set-top boxes. The
current standard offers data rates of 3Gbps, while the next version, which
will be available in the second half of 2010, will offer 6Gbps. eSATA is
expected to see competition in the high-speed interface market from USB 3.0,
which offers data rates up to 5Gbps.
This PowerPoint presentation analyzes and forecasts the market for eSATA in
PCs, external storage, and set-top boxes. Worldwide annual forecasts for both
3Gbps and 6Gbps eSATA through 2013 are offered in the following markets:
desktop PCs, mobile PCs, external hard drives, cable, satellite, and total
set-top boxes.
