General SATA Questions
Hey kids,
I have a few questions regarding SATA drives... 1) I've read several articles stating that SATA can achieve speeds of 3.0Gbs/sec, while others state 300Mbs/sec...which is it?  2) In order to achieve the maximum speed for SATAII, must the moterboard and the harddrive support SATA? In other words, if you were to own a first generation SATA-capable motherboard and you bought a SATAII drive, would the drive run at the SATAII speed or the first-generation speed? THanks. |

In the real world, the speed difference between SATA I and SATA II is barely noticeable. Those are maximum theoretical burst speeds of the interface.
