Another speed related question. How much faster are SATA II drives

help? I'm just looking for a general guess in the form of, "The Disk IO
upgrading to SATA II with NCQ will generally be X% faster." What value
is X?
SATA 150 and SATA 300 refers to interface speed (1.5Gbps or 3Gbps).
Unless its entirely flash-based or RAM-based, it is highly unlikely that
your disk max out the SATA cable bandwidth.
There is "SATA II is x times faster" rule, because it depends on the
drive mechanics inside. A SATA II drive may be exactly the same speed
as SATA I, except that it is upgraded to support NCQ and other SATA II
features.
NCQ definitely helps.
