Message: <blockquote data-quote="Anusha" data-source="post: 1085705" data-attributes="member: 828">Interface speed and the speed reading off the platters are two different things.Here, 100MBps, 133MBps, 1.5Gbps (= 150MBps), 3Gbps (= 300MBps) are interface speeds. There are few drives that can touch 100MBps platter speed, and one drive that can reach up to 120MBps (The Samsung Spinpoint F1 series). PATA or SATA, the hard drive is still the same. No point having a 4 lane road or 10 lane road if the traffic is so low. Like that, it doesn't make much difference with a faster interface, if data can't be pulled or pushed at that rate.P.S.Those Gbps to MBps conversions do not follow the rule of 8bits = 1 byte as there is a 8b/10b encoding process. (in 10bits, there is actually 8 data bits, others are encoding overheads)</blockquote>
