SATA 1 & 2 Hard drive question Shaun Bell 04-13-06

Hi I need to know some info about the different speed that a SATA hard drive
will run at compared to a SATA 2 hard drive. I found a SATA 250 gig 10,000
RPM 16 mb Cache hard drive on ebay, will a SATA 2 10,000 RPM 16mb cache hard
drive run faster? at the proposed 3 gig /sec than the 1.5 gig /sec? or will
both drives run at 1.5 g /sec?

so dose SATA run at 1.5 gig /sec and SATA 2 run at 3 gig /sec if so dose the
hard drive have to be a SATA 2 to get the 3 gig /sec?

Thanks
Shaun B.

Either one will be satisfactory since the SATA standards are never
remotely realized in practice except for on-board cache transfers. Your
SATA controller will never do more than maybe 70MB-100B/sec sustained.

For your information: there are no manufactured 10,000 rpm SATA 1 or SATA 2
harddrives that contain more than 150 GB. (And that model is made by
Western Digital.)
