    Yeah, that :).

    The only reason SATA-III spinning rust exists is for marketing purposes
    and because eventually it will be cheaper to use SATA-III for everything
    rather than continuing to make separate SATA-II interfaces for hard
    disks. Unless you're planning to hook up an SSD (or one of the hybrid
    hard drives with a built-in SSD cache) there's really nothing gained
    from SATA-III.
