SATA Testing
In order to streamline and simplify interface connections
between PCs and storage devices, many companies today
are using Serial ATA (SATA) interfaces. Compared to
parallel ATA, SATA simplifies the interface hardware
by using fewer cables and smaller connectors, taking
up less PCB real estate, and therefore reducing the
overall system cost as well as potential for failure.
SATA also offers increased data transfer speeds and easier
system configuration capabilities.
Percept Technology Labs now delivers specialized SATA testing at both the command-level and protocol-level.
- Command-level Testing - Using
custom test tools, Percept runs systematic tests to
verify that the target device executes both SATA and
ATAPI/SCSI commands correctly. Percept test tools
support both disk and tape device testing with a collection
of exhaustive test scripts. This testing assures that
all required and optional commands are being communicated
and executed as required by SATA and SCSI standards.
Any potential problems discovered during testing can
be addressed and fixed, preempting expensive field
problems and customer satisfaction issues.
- Protocol-level Testing - In addition
to command-level testing, Percept is able to test
the SATA link at the protocol level. Using specialized
tools, our experienced staff is able to simulate protocol
errors and verify that systems are able to recognize
and recover link-level exceptions as they occur. This
type of testing allows Percept to exercise additional
functionality not covered during the regular course
of testing, that may have significant influence on
the stability and robustness of the data subsystem.
- Interoperability testing - Percept can also verify that SATA devices function correctly with the wide variety of SATA equipment currently available on the market – assuring seamless integration into the customer environment, and avoiding product launch surprises and future support problems.
