SATA150 and SATA 1

[thenewa2x]

Is SATA150 the same thing as standard SATA? If not what's the difference?

Yes it is. SATA is just SATA. Whoever listed it as SATA150 is clearly trying to show that the interface has a faster transfer limit (150MB/s) vs. PATA (usually listed at 100 or 133). It is important to note, however, that most SATA drives do not outperform PATA models with similar specs. It is when you use a RAID array will you start to see the advantage lean in SATA's favor.

Here's a read for you:

Guess I should have also mentioned that SATA-II drives have a make transfer rate of 300MB/s, so they could also be pointing out the difference there as well.
