== 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. This increased data rate specification is very widely referred to as “Serial ATA II” (“SATA II”); however, the [http://www.serialata.org official website] for the SATA standard states that this is a misnomer, as SATA II is the name of the organization formed to author the Serial ATA specifications. Indeed, the increased data rate capability was only one of many that were defined by the SATA II committee. The Serial ATA standard organization has since changed names, and is now “The Serial ATA International Organization”, or SATA-IO.

SATA 300 ''is'' backwards-compatible with SATA 150 devices, meaning you can plug older SATA 150 hardware into newer SATA 300 ports.
 
SATA-IO plans to further increase the maximum throughput of Serial ATA to 600 MB/s around [[2007]].
