TheReaper Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Hi all, what's the diff between Sata2 (150) & (300)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 thats the speed rating that is possible with the drives.... 150mb/s and 300mb/s in reality they will only be 50mb/s-70mb/s on either.... Fastest single drive I have seen yet to date was a Maxtor 160gig that pulled 71.5mb/s in HD-Tach Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReaper Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 thanks doc, so 300 is faster/better? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

radodrill Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 The rated throughput speeds may be faster; but the limiting factor is the spindles and read/write heads. As dr_bowtie said, there won't be a noticeable real-world difference between them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemidare Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Yuck, I wouldn't touch a refurb HDD. Same here there is a reason it had to be refurbished. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
