benefit of SATA II over SATA150?

[PSUstoekl]

Is there truly a noticable between the two, if you have two identical HDD's (same rpm, cache, size, etc.) except where one is 150 and the other SATA II?

No.

dont think its noticable

Only major advantage is if you can find a sata II drive that supports the hot swapping capability. But if you don't need that type of funtionality, you'd be hard pressed to see a noticable difference in performance.

SATAII is backward compatible. Plug any SATA/SATA-II drives in your computer and they will work

All sata drives are hot-swappable, not just sata II.

alright thanks guys, that'll save me some coin then.

Same as the differences between ATA100 and ATA 133.

When you have SATA II, you can tell all your computer buddies that your computer uses the latest bleeding-edge technology.

With SATA, my Hitachi t7k250's Burst at ~134MB/s and have an average read of 52.2MB/s .. if you NEED more than 150 bandwidth.. let me know because I want those drives.
