LucidPort Starts Shipping First USB 3.0 to SATA Bridge Chip

btarunr · Jul 27, 2009

LucidPort Technology commenced shipping of the industry's first USB 3.0 to SATA bridge chip, the LucidPort USB300. The chip connects a SATA II hard drive, or solid state drive to a USB Full-speed 1.1, Hi-speed 2.0, and Super-speed 3.0 port. It supports native command queuing (NCQ), AES 128/256-bit encryption, and transfer-rates as high as 210 MB/s when used with Windows Mass Storage driver. It offers even higher transfer-rates when used with the new USB-attached SCSI (UAS) driver. The most prominent applications of this chip includes external hard-drives, and external drive enclosures. Competitors such as PLX, Fujitsu, and Faraday Electronics, etc., are expected to release similar chips later this year.

What the heck are they going to call USB 4.0 if they ever come up with it?

I think by that time USB and SATA will merge into some kinda unholy chimera thats got the flaws of both but lacks at least some of the strengths of each.

USB 10.0 will be called warp-speed. :rolleyes:

I'm guessing I'd need to bolt the USB device to the wall (none specific as I'm damned happy with what I have in terms of USB devices).

e-sata

i think it will come the new standard maybe?

Meecrob · Jul 27, 2009

Its what Im voting for, after reading about it, esata/sata can support the same kind of devices as USB, but at higher bandwidth, sounds win/win to me.

Warp? You heretic!
Just joking...

Is this the same company that makes the "Lucid" chip for multiple graphics card scaling? When is that coming out?

john625 · Jul 27, 2009

ULTRA SPEED... and then... M-M-M-MONSTER SPEED... speed... speed... speed...

Mussels · Jul 28, 2009

MEGA SPEED. ULTRA SPEED. MONSTER SPEED. GODLIKE SPEED!

What, i'm sure these guys play unreal tournament still.

hat · Jul 28, 2009

My post was actually a UT99 reference... it goes double kill, multi kill, ultra kill, M-M-M-MONSTER KILL... kill... kill... later UT's added the somewhat tasteless "HOLY SHIT!!" after monster kill

Godlike was a title given if you got either 20 or 25 kills without dying, I forgot which

Wile E · Jul 28, 2009

You guys forgot Ultra-mega ~~Chicken~~ Speed.

Can't wait for this, my USB Hard drive only does 29mb/s :shadedshu

Just buy an eSATA cage.

It uses a proprietary case, so I can't do so. I might do that for my 160GB HDD.

What do you mean? What brand is it? It's still just a hard drive in a box. Take the hard drive out of it, throw the case in the junk bin, and put the hard drive in an eSATA case.

And USB 11.0 will be called "Trans-warp Speed".
