| | Sata 6Gbit/psec - does it double your speed? Quote: "Those of us in the business of keeping an eye on new technologies wonder why the buzz about SATA 6Gbit/sec. (a.k.a. Serial ATA Revision 3) hasn't been louder than it is." >>>> "I would wait at least four to six months before plunging into SATA Revision 3 technology. That will allow prices to drop a bit and the technology itself to mature. While Seagate has packed the Barracuda XT with 64MB of cache, I believe that 128MB would be better, given the optimal speed of the interface, and I can honestly speculate that Seagate will get here. I suspect that Western Digital will be tweaking the firmware on its Caviar Black as well. What you can't do is achieve the overall performance advantage -- which in some cases is admittedly slim -- offered by the 6Gbit/sec. drives themselves."

| | I have a new WD SATA 3 (6GB's) HDD .. But can only test it with an older SATA 2 Mobo. It seems like there's some performance improvement .. (backwards compatible) .. But nothing to shout about. I'm waiting on some tests with a newer USB 3.0 and SATA 3 Capable Mobo... Or maybe a card ... There might be one of These in my future |

| | It doubles the theoretical throughput on the interface. However, since current drives are incapable of maxing out the interface of SATA 3.0Gbps by a fair amount....it's absurd to think that a faster interface will make any improvement. |

| | SATA 3 is a worthless investment if you are using a mechanical HDD. They barely make full use of SATA 1 speeds. Must have a solid state drive to get even close to the full potential of SATA 3. (And I know the committee that governs SATA does not want this to be called SATA 3, but SATA 6Gb/s [product name] is just so freaking stupid. It is the third revision for ffs.) |

Quote: Originally Posted by logicearth Well didn't mean SSD were maxing out, just saying they are what can get close to the potential :P This is the reason for the arguing between Sata 3 and Sata 6.0Gbps naming....because of the speeds and such, it's easy to miscommunicate. |
