most drives can barely saturate a SATA I interface
(150MB/s) so transfer speed will not go up at all vs
the likes of eSATA (1.5Gb/s SATA I or 3Gb/s SATA II
max)... the bottleneck, at least today is the drives
not the interface...
as the guy in the article says, you are not going to
get any faster than ~150MB/s because that's the limit
of what the drive can do.
