Does this have a SATA 3.0 (6Gb/s) interface?

Sorry, look at the pictures again!!! When you zoom in...Sticker reads Serial ATA and states ... 1.5 Gbps !!!Might be one of the last ones left....

Hmm... I personally don't know this either (I too would like to know -- in case anyone has tested it out). However, the product picture show the "SERIAL ATA" logo with "1.5Gb/s" below it -- making me believe it is not SATA 3Gb/s or SATA 6Gb/s. I am looking for one that supports 3Gb/s.

Honestly, I can't answer that. I assumed so, but now that you ask I'm not sure. You'd have to ask the OEM. I have it in my 2011 MacBook Pro running a 1TB spinning drive just for backup and data storage, so I don't need all that blazing fast of a connection.

It is tricky wording. You will be compatible with Sata III drives but will be limited by the usb3 speed. Sata III is 6Gb/s usb3 is 5Gb/s.

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

SATA version 3, as in 6Gbps. All four of the ports on this board are SATA version 3.

This has 8 SATA 6GB/s ports. If you have an HDD compatible with SATA 6GB/s or SATA 3GB/s it will work.

It has 2 x 6Gbps SATA, 4 x 3Gbps. 2 x PCIe 3.0 x16 1 x PCIe 3.0 x8 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 1 x PCI I think that's it.

Previous helpers don't understand the question, SATA 3 6GB/S is a data cable.... You don't need to buy any special power cable, recent power supply, come with these connectors. Wouldn't be healthy for your new HDD, if you are planning to use an old or low quality power supply

Your processor is more than capable, what you need to know is whether your motherboard has the proper sata interface for this drive.

Hi James,Yes, the interface is SATA III. I am using a SATA III 1TB HDD in mine. This enclosure is solid, built well, keeps drives cool and swapping drives in and out is easy! If your looking for super compact, it is not. It is still small since it takes 2.5 inch HDD's but definitely not the smallest. I love it because I plan on putting the 2.5 inch 1TB Velociraptor inside of it and I know it won't over heat and it will fit the 15MM thickness.

Don't know - sorry - I am using mine as an external (e-sata) attached to a desktop.

I don't know. All I can find is this: Max. 5Gbps (USB 3.0), Max. 480Mbps (USB 2.0) & SATA 3Gbps

if the package says they have a 1.5 ghz transfer rate, then you will NOT get the 6gps of SATA 3. These will still work, you just wont get 100% performance out of them.

The drive is compatible with both. Sata 6 is twice as fast for data transfer but it depends on whether your computer has the faster interface.

It supports all the way up to SATA III 6.0Gb/s, and I'm pretty sure SATA is backwards compatible (to SATA I and SATA II).

It is Sata II or SATA III compatible. If you do not understand the interface for HDD you probably should not be building a computer or buying components.

It does not. It is not even sata compatible. It connects into use port on main board

Yes, any SATA drive will work. If you want a detailed list of the tested drives go to the MSI website and look for the MoBo model. You can check at tested compatible CPUs, Memory, HDD, etc
