The PS3 has a SATA150 controller. The SATA 3.0 is backwards compatible though.
So is the SATA III 6.0GB controller. You will be limited to SATA I 1.5GB speeds though so I'd save the few euros and just get SATA II or find SATA I.

I'm sure that you mean Gb and not GB.. ;)Quote:

3.5 inch SATA 3 are about the same price as SATA 2 because SATA 3 is becoming the standard.
Not sure how many 2.5inch SATA3 mechanical drives there are I have not seen any for sale.
My 2.5" SSD that I bought in the summer is SATA 3 but my laptop only has SATA II, still a big difference in speed though. Won't be going back to HDDs after using one now either.
I know, right? I've had and SSD drive for my desktop PC for a couple years now and at one time, I even had two in a raid-0 setup and it was blazing fast.Quote:

What? Get the benefits of sata 3?
They will work but not at the higher spec speeds of SATA 3.Quote:

I think the 2.5 inch (laptop) SATA 3 drives are only SSD. There are plenty of 3.5 inch (desktop) drives for sale that are mechanical.Quote:
