What concerns me is that the model I'm looking at (SR490PBB) states that the interface runs at SATA150 when pretty much everything is set to 3Gb/s. Does anyone know if the hard drive is SATA150 (presumably yes), and if throwing in a 3Gb drive in that it'll function at said speed instead of being throttled down (looking to dump a SSD in, kind of defeats the purpose if the speed is gimped)?
Thx.. looking to burn some cash but this thing is a big factor (as is gigabit connection which I'm overlooking... why would they not include gigabit!?!?)

Not quite sure if I understand you right.
a) Where does it say in this model's specs that "everything" is set at 3GB/s?
b) Hard drive does not throttle down like Ram. So if the system can support 3GB/s then it will take advantage of the drive interface speed. If not, there is nothing to lose -
Everything as in hard drives.
Found my answer earlier already - apparently notebooks are way behind even in the HD department (and still using ICH7R or 8) without 3Gbs support, and the 3Gbs will only come along with the next platform Calpella and whatnot.
SSDs run faster than the 1.5Gbs, so it kinda will throttle down since it requires more than it. Bleh. -
Is the SR hard drive inerface SATA 150 or 30?
