Question about SATA II

[bosshoss]

I may be missing something here, but I can't seem to find the right answer. Is SATA II the same thing as SATA 3gb/s? In other words will two of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16822148105 work on this mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813131530 ??

I understood that "SATA2" = SATA 3.0Gb/s because the SATA2 standard does not really exist BUT the SATA3.0Gb/s standard DOES exist, so ppl call it SATA2 refering to SATA3.0Gb/s but it's not really2

Thankyou for you answer. I just didnt wanna spend $86.00x2 to get something that doesnt function with the mainboard. Now comes the trouble setting those up in a RAID0 config. Do you think there will be a speed difference between 2xSATA150's in a RAID0 as opposed to 2xSATA3gb/s in a RAID0?
