SATA III is 6Gb/s

HDD just get Sata II and whatever size you want, there's no way a HDD is going to be too fast for Sata II.

SSD's it starts to get more complex, and I can't be bothered to explain it to be honest. Basically SSD = insanely fast, and most modern SSD's require SATA III to get the most out of their speed.

Edit: For more comprehensive Sata III. Read this: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18040306

Hi mate,

I'm no expert, but here's my input:

SATA II = 3Gbps
SATA III= 6Gbps

A SATA III drive will work on a SATA II mobo.

SSD is a Solid State Drive. Chips with instant access instead of spinning discs, therefore quicker seek time, data transfer, etc.

Hope that helps.
