I dont understand what you mean...You cant overclock SATA....If you mean the BUS, extra speed wont do anything for performance and you're risking your HDD.

You are asking if you can push the SATA bus to 500mhz???
I seriously doubt it. Most of the better boards out there lock the SATA speed to 100mhz (mine for example, and I also have a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum which also locks it, someone correct me if i am wrong plz)

my guess is try and hope for the best. the best way to overclock though is to not jump to a high number. just keep on incrementing by like 50mhz or so and see where it stops being stable. so run stability tests to see if it wants to crash on anything. and when it crashes set it back down to the one you had before.

I think we need more information. What kind of board and what CPU are we talking about. If it has an AGP/PCI lock then there will be no issue with the SATA drive at all.

Some nvidia boards have sata ports 1 & 2 not locked.
