SATA V3 can transfer data at a maximum speed of?

300 MB/sec
600 MB/sec
1.2 GB/sec
2.4 GB/sec

The correct answer is: 600 MB/sec

SATA V3, also known as SATA III, is designed to enhance the performance of data transfer in storage devices compared to its predecessors. The maximum data transfer rate for SATA V3 is 6 Gb/s (gigabits per second), which translates to approximately 600 MB/s (megabytes per second). This higher speed is a key feature that allows for faster read and write operations, making it suitable for modern storage solutions like SSDs and higher-performance hard drives. The increased speed helps to improve overall system performance, particularly in applications that require rapid data access.
