Ntman2000 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Hi Guys, I am currently in my First year of my degree and have been set this question, I have found nothing to answer this having looked extensively on the net can anyone put me out of my misery? if you like just gove me a pointer due to plagiarism rules If disc drives can read data of the surface of a disc at around 150 Mbps, what is the benefit of having a 600 Mbps interface between the disc and the motherboard? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Logically there is no point what so ever, but the motherboard ports also supply other drives and latest SSD drives use the 600Mbps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntman2000 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Thanks, so really, future proofing would be the only real reason you might use a 600 Mbs cable between the Mother board and a 150 Mbs Hard-Drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I would also have thought that cost would also come into it, why go to the expense of fitting different speed SATA ports when the 600Mbs is backward compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
