Serial ATA International Organization (SATA-IO), the consortium dedicated to sustaining the quality, integrity and dissemination of SATA technology, today announced its Power Over eSATA initiative. SATA-IO has begun work on a new specification that will provide power to external SATA (eSATA) devices without the need for a separate power connection. Led by the organization’s Cable and Connector group, the specification is targeted for completion in the second half of 2008.Power Over eSATA solutions, such as portable optical drives, are expected to be available as soon as the second half of 2008. More information can be found here. Add a comment
Today, eSATA devices require an external power adapter to supply the necessary voltage for operation. The new SATA-IO specification will eliminate this requirement by providing power for a single drive directly from the host system using the Power Over eSATA cable. Key benefits will be to maintain compatibility with the existing eSATA connector form factor and retain high performance at the current maximum interface transfer rate of 3Gb/s (gigabits per second). External SATA offers the only 3Gb/s bus optimized for storage performance. Data from IDC shows that eSATA can transfer a two-hour high-definition movie in less than one minute.

With Green the theme for the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and Blu-ray the hot topic, Blue Ray Technologies has announced the first 100 percent eco-friendly Blu-ray plant in the world. It is designed as a showcase of how cutting edge technology can be profitable while working with earth instead of against it.If you'd like to read more, Blue Ray Technnologies' entire press release can be found here.

"As Blue Ray leads high-definition and consumers into the 21st Century in movies and games, we take seriously the challenge to make manufacturing as clean as the picture on our Blu-ray discs," says Blue Ray Technologies founder Erick Hansen.
For the next-gen company, it's more than just lip service to the Green movement, it's a philosophy built in to every phase of Blue Ray Technologies' operations. Starting with a recycled historical building for its Spokane, Washington, plant, BRT uses underground tanks to cool its production water, solar panels to provide electricity, redirected heat from manufacturing to office space, rainwater collectors, eco-conscious raw materials and packaging plus energy-saving devices everywhere from clean room lighting to the kitchens. Any carbon footprint left is more than zeroed-out by support for tree-planting and methane-recycling programs.
