What is the max transfer rate for SATA V1?

1.5 GB/s
3.0 GB/s
6.0 GB/s
10 GB/s

The correct answer is: 1.5 GB/s

SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) is a computer bus interface that is used to connect hard drives and other storage devices to the motherboard. The first version, SATA V1, was released in 2000 and has a maximum transfer rate of 1.5 GB/s. The incorrect options B, C, and D have higher transfer rates, which are for newer versions of SATA such as SATA V2, V3, and V4, respectively. These newer versions have improved speeds and capabilities, but for SATA V1, the maximum transfer rate remains at 1.5 GB/s. So even though the other options may seem like logical choices, they are not correct for SATA V1 specifically.
