Sata III ? Does anyone know if the r845-s85 supports SATA 6Gbit/s or SATA 3Gbit/s?

yes its sata III compatible but it can only run at sata II speeds. I instaled a sata III ssd and my read speads are 260mbps but on sata III motherboard it can do about 550mbps, almost double. but I haven't seen a laptop that supports sata III yet, only desktops.

SATA 2 has a maximum real-world transfer rate of 300 MB/s while SATA 3 raises this maximum limit to 600 MB/s. However, even the current fastest and most expensive 15,000 RPM drives are only able to achieve transfer speeds of about 200 MB/s. So whether the drive is SATA 2 or SATA 3, you won't see a difference in hard disk speeds, even the new SSD (Solid State Drive) drives usually can only go up to 280 MB/sKeep in mind that the SATA is the interface but the hard disk itself has it's own speed limitations, so in this case having a SATA III interface won't give you any benefit.

if you're talking about the SATA speed ports, I have mine plugged into a SATA 6GB port and not a problem

I've found that usb3 to usb3 transfers are around 100MB/s up to 170MB/s on 3Gb/s Sata Drives you won't see faster than that till you get faster devices. USB3 to internal sata 3Gb/s drives are about 50MB/s to 90MB/s, Depending on processorand drive speeds. USB3 to e-sata Is around 70 -90MB/s The Drivers that came with mine did work. and it did power my usb 2.5" drives. but not more than 1 at a time. with out using the included power cord.

I've had no problem using these (or any SATA 6Gb/s) drives with SATA 3Gb/s.

Good if the connection is sata sata 3 speed will be fully optimized.I believe you will have a good performace with sata 3.gratefulHerbert

Yes. It is comparable with all SATA drives. You just wouldn't be able to take advantage of the speeds of SATA III obviously.

I wish I could give you a good answer on this, but I installed it in a an older puter with an older sata3 buss, and ahci wasnt even an option in the bios. that being said, the customer is very happy with it said her puter has never been faster...

Unfortunately non-software that I have can test it and the hardware itself does not seems to be different physically but I will recommend it as it works good for burning at 6x and the time was 16 min as expected for this device class and if an optical go up from 16x then you maybe need SATA3 but currently it seems does not applies [16 576 Mbit/s 72 MB/s] because SATA 2 3Gb/s is good up to ~ 290MB/s read and write vs. 6Gb/s is good up to ~ 600mb/s read / write.

You are correct (and previous answer is not). The drive interface is 6Gb/sec (that's gigabits per second), as it says on the label. This is the standard speed of Sata3. This translates to roughly 600MB/sec - plenty enough to carry the quoted 550 MB/ sec the drive is capable of.

The adaptor is compatible with PCIE 1.0 and 2.0 specifications (2.5 and 5GHz signaling, 250 and 500MB/s data rate), however the maximum data rate in the PCIE 1.0 connection will be limited at 250MB/s for a SATA III device.Note that the (supported) SATA signaling is 1.5, 3.0 and 6.0GHz (150, 300 and 600MB/s), different from PCIE data rates. Obviously the lower of the two, in any combination, will apply.

Test have proven there is no speed difference between SATA 1, 2, or 3 cables. SATA 3 cables have locks on 1 or both ends.

Is your mac's Sata 6Gb/s compatible? Because, if it is older, it may be only 3Gb/s, and that would be why it is slower.

According to information at Crucial.com and Hardocp.com (http://m.hardocp.com/article/2010/02/20/sata_6gbs_on_your_new_motherboard/#.UvNcini9LCQ) the M500 series are 6g/s (SATA 3.0) and fully 3gb/s (SATA 2.0) compatible.

SATA3 drives are backwards compatible with SATA1. It's merely a bandwidth upgrade that you won't be able to take advantage of. So you should be alright with this drive though you might lose a bit of performance in the read speed in some instances.

I do not think this enclosure supports SATA III, as an Anker representative told me: "The speed is restricted by the chipset as well. This Uspeed enclosure supports up to SATA 2 perfectly but only compatible with SATA 3. While, the one you compared [SIIG SATA 6Gbps to USB 3.0 enclosure] seems to be with updated chipset to compatible with 6Gb/s."FYI, here are some speeds in MB/s, with an Intel 330 120GB SSD:Anker USB 3.0/eSATA enclosure (this enclosure): 176.4/134.2Seagate GoFlex Slim USB 3.0 interface: 250.5/152.5SIIG 6Gb/s SATA to USB 3.0: 257.9/149.6Newer Technology Voyager S3: 396.1/136.4The Anker is the slowest of the bunch.

1- supports sata 3 up to 6Gbps. Backward compatible to sata 2 (3Gbps) and sata1 (1.5Gbps) specification. 2- No! This is an all in one unit. I'm using 2 64GB SSD drivers and set it up in a raid . It speed up your computer 100x better. It almost instantly the changes to the next window. I like this setup and it is in a nice package.
