Which of the following supports data transfer rates of up to 150 MBps?
A.
Ultra-ATA
B.
Serial ATA
C.
Fast SCSI
D.
All of the above.
Explanation:
Serial ATA (SATA) uses serial transmission modes and 250 mV differential signaling techniques to achieve data transfer rates of up to 150 MBps.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Ultra-ATA, also known as Ultra-ATA 33, has a maximum transmission rate of 33 MBps. Later versions of Ultra-ATA, called Ultra-ATA 66 and Ultra-ATA 100 have maximum transmission rates of 66 MBps and 100 MBps respectively.
C: Fast SCSI has a maximum transmission rate of 10 MBps.
D: Only SATA has a maximum transmission rate of 150 MBps, though this has been surpassed by SATA II.
