Sata 3 Transfer Rate. The throughput is at 600 mbs. Superuser reader space ghost wants to know what the actual speed of sata 3 is.
The throughput transfer rate value of sata 6gbps is 6 gbs and its theoretical data transfer speed is 600mbs. Im surprised to put it mildly. So yeah unless youre using it via usb.
However when relying on backwards compatibility the data transfer rate may be slower than expected because of power issues and the limitations on the speed of the port itself.
Today usb 30s superspeed 5 gbps gigabits per second is more than ten times faster than usb. On the other hand when copying the same set of medium sized files tofrom the same ssd disk connected via the sata3 interface the average file copy performance reaches 170 mbsec for a single file copy thread and scales to 526 mbsec for 4 parallel file copy threads. Of course the sata speed mentioned in this part is theoretical value as the. You now know that at maximum 125 mb of the file will transfer every second.
