SATA/300
With the release of the NVIDIA nForce4 chipset in 2004, the clock rate was doubled to 3 GHz, for a maximum throughput of 300 MB/s or 2.4 gigabits per second (Gbit/s). SATA/300 is backwards-compatible with SATA/150 devices, allowing SATA/150 hardware to interface with SATA/300 ports and SATA/300 hardware with SATA/150 ports (albeit the latter at the slower 150 MB/s data rate).
The 3 Ghz specification has been very widely referred to as “Serial ATA II” (“SATA II”), contrary to the wishes of the Serial ATA standards organization that authored it. The official website notes that SATA II was in fact that organization's name at the time, the SATA/300 specification being only one of many that SATA II defined, and suggests that “SATA 3Gb/s” be used instead. (The Serial ATA standards organization has since changed names, and is now “The Serial ATA International Organization”, abbreviated SATA-IO.)
SATA-IO plans to further increase the maximum throughput of Serial ATA to 600 MB/s, 4.8 gigabits per second (Gbit/s), around the year 2007.
