Interoperability Workshops
SATA-IO Interoperability Workshop #12
May 20-23, 2013
Taipei, Taiwan
Gold Sponsor:
Tektronix
Objective:
The SATA-IO Interop Workshop serves two main purposes:
1) As a mechanism for verifying product and building block adherence to the SATA Specification.
2) As a proving ground for updated tests and test methodologies, typically in support of new SATA Specification features and updates.
The Interop Workshop serves as a way for SATA-IO members to get their products tested by multiple testers using different equipment sets and latest tests before they are available at the certified test labs. However, given the complexity of the test results and consistency verification process, it takes significantly longer to generate an overall PASS/FAIL result. So, for product vendors needing quick results, and an Integrators List posting, the certified Test Labs are the best mechanism.
Registration Information:
Registration for this event has closed.
Registration for the Interop Workshop is limited to SATA-IO members only. Information on becoming a SATA-IO member can be found on the Membership page.
SATA-IO will be assessing a registration fee of $500 for each product tested during the Interop Workshop. Each Interop Workshop vendor is only allowed to register a single component for scheduling in a block of testing sessions. Registration for a single component includes registration for two supporting engineers. Additional support engineers above two will incur a $100 fee per individual. Each test session is one to two hours and will be focused on testing of a single product. Because of the limited number of registered test slots, the initial registration process will only allow one product to be registered per vendor. If at a later point, it is found that not all of the test slots are utilized there will be follow-up with the vendors already registered to understand if they have additional products ready for testing.
Registration closes May 10.
Additional Forms:
IW Product Information Sheet - Your product registration will not be considered complete until the appropriate Product Information Sheet has been provided to SATA-IO.
