The hardware doesnt need it.

Would be nice if it did

Will be great for video Editing and loading up things nice and fast.
Windows Xploaded in 5 seconds that would be nice

You are an idiot. The interface speed is not the actual speed.

 

[Miltion]

So your saying the RMP aint 10,000 Rpm i suppose and th eBurst speed
is not 100 mbs plus and sustain speed is not 60 mbs plus ?

Even if they are, what the hell difference would a SATA 2 interface
make when it wouldn't even max out a SATA 1 interface. Christ some
people are dumb.

No, that is exactly why he was saying that.

Even if they are, what the hell difference would a SATA 2 interface
make when it wouldn't even max out a SATA 1 interface.

It doesn't max out a SATA 1 interface because it has a SATA 1
physical interface, isn't it now. How difficult can that be.
And there is more to SATA II than just the interface speed.

If SATA 300 it would 'only' be twice as fast in the read transfers
that come from it's cache and the write transfers that go to it's buffer.
The problem these days is more with finding an application that will
actually benefit from that 'mere' 100% increase.

Christ some people are dumb.

Please do not offend all the dumb people by comparing them with him.

Or with you, for that matter.
