[redrider773]

If you get a mobo thats SATA II support, is that the hard drive called 3.0Gb/s?

[Archangel]

can it really reach 3GB/s, or only theoratically?

 

[elmarcorulz]

wel, 3GB and 3Gb are different

 

[Qlutch]

Yeah... 3Gb is eight times slower than 3GB.

i believe its 384MB/sec (3072/8=384), i may be wrong
