It is a third generation SATA interface. It should work just fine with both SATA and SATA II, since it is backwards compatible.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This isn't a hard drive. This is a solid state drive which uses MLC flash memory for storage instead of a moving hard disk and spindle. The revision 3.0 just means that it has some other improvements, mainly faster transfer speeds. SATA 2.0 has transfer speeds of 3Gbps (or 300MB/s), and SATA 3.0 has transfer speeds of 6Gbps (roughly 600MB/s). This solid state drive won't fully saturate the 6Gbps cap speed, but it's still fast and will transfer data beyond what SATA 2 is capable of. If you want to put this device in a computer that only supports up to SATA 2 it will still work but it will be bottlenecked by the slower SATA 2 bus speed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is a SSD (solid state drive) and can be used in place of any sata hard drive. It will work on sata rev 1 (150) rev 2 (300) or rev 3 (600).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is sata III. found the following info on these, "In an effort to resolve confusion over the specifications, the Serial ATA International Organization (SATA-IO), the organization formed to author the SATA specifications, has encouraged the use of SATA 6Gb/s or SATA Revision 3.x instead of the moniker SATA III."
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.SATA 3. You get the full 6bps transfer speed with it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This device is actually a Solid State Drive (or Disk). There are no moving parts, as it is memory based. Data transfer on these devices are very quick compared to mechanical hard drives. In reference to your question concerning the SATA interface, the only difference between SATA 1, SATA 2 and SATA 3 devices are the capable speeds at which they interface with your computer. SATA 1 can transfer data up to 1.5 Gb/s, SATA II up to 3 Gb/s and SATA III is capable of up to 6Gb/s speeds Here is some info directly from the SanDisk web Site: http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8142/~/difference-between-sata-i,-sata-ii-and-sata-iii
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.sata III but it doesnt really matter, ssd are the best
