Sartori Posted November 13, 2010 ID:344602 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Hello!Had some questions about the new Sata 6 technology....Am in the process of getting a new build together. This is the MB I'm going to get:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813131665I'm going to try and stick with mechanical hard drives to try and keep the cost down a little. This is the HD I'm going to put in, actually two of them, no raid, just for extra storage and backup....http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16822136544Will this Sata 6 combo be a big difference from Sata 3 for speed? It sounds like the Sata 6 drive can't get above Sata 3 speed anyway so am a little confused what the point of these Sata 6 drives are then?? Or is it the MB controller thats causing the issues?Will a Velociraptor Sata 6 drive be any better to warrant the cost?http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16822136555This is the only thing I'm stuck on as far as completing my build parts...Thanks for any help!!

ShyWriter Posted November 13, 2010 ID:344642 Share Posted November 13, 2010 @SartoriI can't help with the SATA3/SATA6 question but did notice this article from XBits where INTEL is dropping SSD prices.. by a lot.. It may be of interest to you in your new build.http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/storage/display/20101112133200_Intel_Slashes_Prices_on_Solid_State_Drives.html~Shy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sartori Posted November 13, 2010 Author ID:344666 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Okay, thanks for the link. Did some more research, looks like the only way I'm going to be able to benefit from the Sata 6 is to get a Sata 6 SSD:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820148362I have no idea why WD is calling any of their hard drives Sata 6.....They aren't even close to Sata 3 speeds.....

Scouk Posted November 13, 2010 ID:344678 Share Posted November 13, 2010 SATA III peak throughput of up to 600 MB/s There is no SATA 6, it is SATA3 with the throughput max of upto 600.SATA = 150SATA II = 300SATA III = 600I hope I understood your question ok.You could use a small SSD drive for your System drive and a large sata drive for backup/2nd drive.good luck with it anyway.
