Allion is one of the first official Serial ATA standard test labs authorized by SATA-IO since we has experiences accumulated in supporting various SATA plug-fest, workshops and promoting the Serial ATA standard compliance program from 2004.   

Products that pass the SATA Interoperability Program are rewarded with a listing on the SATA-IO “Integrators List” to show the compatibility and quality to customers.  Now you can have testing service in conformance to workshops in Allion without waiting or traveling around.
