[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

I don't see a problem with 6GB/s SATA wiring for a normal user. Not like you were planning to mount a loving server to feed millions of people or massive video edit.

you think normal hard drives or sata SSDs can actually hit 6gb per second?

[Ad Bot]

[Alyx Vance]

I've never seen 6gb a second

[Becquerel]

I've never seen 6gb a second

I think its possible with SATA Revision III

I've never actually tried, tbh. The fastest I got to was 90MB/s passing GTA IV from one deive to another.

Makes me wonder if we will ever get SATA 4 or if SATA will get deprecated because of M.2 and PCI SSDs.

Stupid question but...
What the hell is SATA antways? I once had to pick up an external HDD woth 2.5 SATA to use it with some capture card  but I honestly have no idea what it is. I assume it has something to do with the write speed

SATA is the latest in Hard Drive interfaces
It stands for Serial Advanced Technology Attachment
Its a hard drive interface that connects the motherboard to the harddrive
its also a replacement for the old Parallel ATA system. In SATA, data is sent serially, meaning one at a time, which is faster than IDE / Parallel ATA, which sends data in groups.

SATA is this connector and the revision is the speed at which the controller is rated for.
SATA 1: 1.5GB/s
SATA 2: 3GB/s
SATA 3: 6GB/s
All revisions have the same connector and will run at the speed of the lowest link in the chain.
IE: If you're running a SATA 2 hard drive on a SATA 3 motherboard it will run at the speed of SATA 2 and vice versa.

isnt there 2 cables per HDD / SSD? One for power and the other for data?

[espio100]

Ah I see
Guess I learned something new today
And guess I should re-look my costum build before buying it.
I dont give 2 stuffs abou how fast I download or move thongs but I care allot about how fast my game loads.

Edit: HDD has SATA 6Gb/s and MB has "4 6Gb/ SATA". I have no idea really. 4 what? 4 sata slots? 4 sata cows?

Yes. You have the power (Legacy/MOLEX and SATA Power) and the data cable (SATA in the case of SATA drives, IDE in the case of PATA drives and SCSi in the case of SCSi drives). I seem to have all three types of drives in my PC, lol.

4 SATA slots with a top speed of 6Gb/s

4 sata ports, yes

Also why does windows have to be a cunt and use GB instead of Gb. It only confuses.

[Pastrey Crust]

Because it should be GigaByte, like windows uses. The cunts are the manufacturers that use Gb so the number is bigger and attracts customers that have no loving clue what they're buying.

iirc 1Gb = 1000Mb and 1GB = 1024MB
Windows has bigger numbers? Or am I wrong?
Nope im wrong.
