Due to the 8B/10B coding used in SATA, you can divide the bitrate by ten

Your talking about the wire speed. The REAL speed is determined by the

I did say "at the wire" above.
Indeed you did, and I wasn't questioning your analysis. Sorry! Just
thought I had something interesting to add. Astronomers rule! :)
