the thing is the box says its SATA150 with 150mb /sec transfer rate. so i was expecting Sata but the actuall drive says its SATA 3.0gb so is it safe to say its SATA2?

Maxtor and Seagate don't.
You should have vised storage reviews before buying.
Why did you buy a Maxtor anyway...Bad move
Als does your mainboard support SATA 300!

I believe the DiamondMax 10 series is SATA2. I'm sure StorageReview could tell you.
Not that it makes any difference whatsoever in the drive's performance, since a single 7200RPM drive tops out at maybe 60-75MBps.

Many believe that if SATA I drives have transfer rates of 1.5Gbps, then 3.0Gbps rates must be held by drives which have SATA II in their names. This is definitely not the case according to the SATA organization:
"The first step toward a better understanding of SATA is to know that SATA II is not the brand name for SATA's 3Gb/s data transfer rate, but the name of the organization formed to author the SATA specifications. The group has since changed names, to the Serial ATA International Organization, or SATA-IO." - SATA-IO, http://www.sata-io.org
