Question 3

Is this cable indeed only SATAII compliant as the current "Top Critical" review mentions, or can it handle the full 6Gbps of SATAIII?

Accepted Answer

Trevor this cable can most definitely handle 6Gps. I have four of them connected to IBM M1015 cards flashed in IT mode. After having them for several months I came across a review when putting two more in my shopping cart that lead me back to find these cables and your question. I just (10-12 mins ago) ran speed tests on the two drives I have (one SSD one mechanical) and the SSD performed as it should reaching speeds average 512 read / 416 write.
