Can SATA 3Gb run 6Gb?
Yes, but you transfer rate will always be the slowest of the two. A 6Gb device on a 3Gb interface will only run at 3Gb. Likewise, a 3Gb device can only run at 3Gb on a 6Gb interface. Other than that limitation, the two are entirely compatible and will not cause any problems.
What is the difference between SATA 3Gb and 6Gb cable?
Cables already at the threshold of 3Gb/s operating margins may experience lower performance than expected at 6Gb/s due to an increased number of resends. In other words, as long as you are not using cheap knock-off cables there should not be any difference.
What is the difference between SATA 6gbps and SATA 3Gbps?
SATAII (3Gb/s) caps your performance at roughly 300MB/s so if the SSD is capable of reaching speeds over those it will be limited to 300MB/s. SATAIII (6Gb/s) caps you at about 600MB/s so it shouldn't bottleneck regular SATA SSDs.
How fast is SATA 3Gb?
The upgrade to a SATA 3Gbps will actually help you squeeze big performance gains from your system. The SATA 3Gbps is representative of the second revision of SATA technology that has transfer rates of 3Gbps and can attain a bandwidth throughput of 300MB/s.
