    Is my new T60 compatible with SATA 3.0Gb/s and the coming SATA 6.0Gb/s hard drives?

    its 3.0 compatible, but why would it matter for anything greater? It already cant saturate the 1.5gbs bus of older drives?

    Like Dietcokefiend said, is there even one that can use all from the 1.5gb spec? At least Notebook drives.

    Thanks, I just saw a SATAII drive for sale somewhere, looked it up on wikipedia and they mentioned the 6.0gb/s drive coming soon. I didn't know what this t60 supported with regard to SATA drives. Great to have a place to go to with questions.
