SATA2 hard disk

SATA2 mean that has the capability to run at 3.0Gb/s rite? coz SATA is only 1.5Gb/s.

i was just wondering why the SATA2 hard disk that i order has the label for SATA and not SATA2.

->250Gb Maxtor Maxline III 24x7 Reliability (7200rpm,16MB) SATA II NCQ - Lead (Pb) Free

SATA II does not guarantee 100% that the drive will be 3 Gb/s capable.

Please see the following url for an explanation of what the SATA II marking means ;

Best Regards,

ok thanks. i was just confused coz i thought that sata2 is 3Gb/s. I think you need to add more infor on some of the products that you sell.

We've put that the SATA II does not guarantee that the drive will work at 3 Gb/s on the overview of the SATAII drive section.

Looks like nobody reads them afterall :crazy:

Would it be a bright idea to put some info of the drives into the product description? Or a better idea in the product spec tables you have list all the Sata II features and have ticks / crosses next to each one to indicate whihc features the drive has.
