SATA 2 is faster than SATA. 3.0gbps vs 1.5gbps if I'm not wrong.

No, you are actually wrong.

Sata II is really just a marketting tool, yes it is actually faster and superior to SATA (therefore i recommend it) but it's not as simple as the supposed 3Gb vs 1.5Gb ratings. Oh no sir. Actually, the rate at which a sata II drive can access data at a constant rate is slower then that of regular SATA.
