SATA II

[avijay]

How do u get 3Gbps data rate for a SATAII capable drive or 1.5Gbps for SATA drives. Which maxtor, seagate and WD drives are capable of SATA II right now?

 

[jvarszegi]

None. If you shopped, you'd know. I don't think any SATA II drives are even in the works at the big companies for the near future.

 

[avijay]

still can't figure out how u get those data rates.

The benefits of SATA II only come into play with some kind of RAID setup, which would require a special controller rather than special drives. A single drive would never be able to saturate that much bandwidth.
