[Luke]

well i have only ever used IDE and sata, but I'm prob gonna pick up a sata2 hdd but ti doesn't say if the mobo supports it. I will be getting this mobo in a few days.

Does it support Sata2?

It should. It only says it in the title of the link.

i know but i heard somewhere that sata needed 3gb/s this mobo is only 300mb/s, by what i have seen. I'll just hope the link is right then.

Cmon luke not you? Bits and byte, go figure

 

[Luke]

what? i know what bits and bytes are, if u want me to write it out it would have been 3gbits and 300mbits.

 

[peterhuang913]

Wrong. The site specifically wrote it as 300MB. Megabyte. SATA2 has a transfer rate of 3 gigabits/s, thus a throughput of 300MB/s.

ah, i didn't know the 300mb/s part. i thought it was bits.

Yea, bits and bytes are confusing.
