I think you are going to see a lot of these deals until supplies run out since they are not making the 150 anymore. Its all SATA2 now

3gb/sec.. thats what

Gnufsh · Nov 9, 2005

No current HDD gets even close to 150 MB/s. AFAIK SATAII is 300MB/s which is actually 0.3GB/s, not 3GB/s. It does have other advantages though, like NCQ (native command queueing).

Posidon42 · Nov 9, 2005

they jacked up the price. now it is $163 before shipping...

how can get they away with advertising 3GB/sec?

sandrock · Nov 9, 2005

They are advertising the speed of the interface.

My bad, it is 3GB/s. However, you may want to check this site out:

Is that gigabytes, or gigabits?
