The Low Voltage Differential (LVD) Ultra2 specification supports a maximum data transfer rate of 80 Mbytes per second, double the rate of the current Ultra SCSI-3 standard. In addition, it can handle more devices per bus and its longer cable lengths let managers place storage as far away as 60 feet from a workstation, useful in a noise-sensitive environment such as a video studio.

Hard drive vendors Quantum Corp. and Seagate Technology Inc. have embraced the standard with new LVD Ultra2 mechanisms.

The Atlas III comes in 9- and 18-Gbyte capacities priced at $1,020 and $1,620, respectively, with average seek times of 7.5 milliseconds and sustained transfer rates of 12 Mbytes per second, the Milpitas, Calif.-based Quantum said.
